Pro-Athletes Turned Impact Investors to Speak at The 5th Annual Impact Investing Forum
Opal Group is happy to announce its 5th annual Impact Investing Forum. Impact investing is an approach that seeks to create positive social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. Today, we see an increase in companies proving that mission-driven and communication based strategy, can attract value based workforce, investor base, and like-minded consumer. Impact investing strategies are also proving to be able to generate returns in line to their traditional counterparts. Over the next four decades, it is estimated that over $41+ trillion will transfer from baby boomers to Millennials. As we move to the next generation of investors, we are going to find companies aligning their beliefs, operation, and communication strategies with that of the Millennials. The Impact Investing Forum will look at many of the asset classes that encompass this space. We invite you to join us and meet top influencers, experienced investors, money managers, and service providers that are leading the charge in this ever growing space. Themes of defining impact investing, portfolio construction, asset class opportunities, and the role of the investor are just a few of the stimulating topics to be covered at this event.

What Attendees Are Saying
“Family Offices are paying attention. The curated panels of accomplished NBA, NFL, MLB and other professional athletes are waking the sleeping giant of Impact Investing. In my years in the FO/HNW world, I have never seen Family Offices so eager to participate in the funding of Innovation."
“Danny Hughes and the athletes that have spoken at Opal Group’s family office and impact investment forums have been profoundly professional and amazing to work with. They have opened many of our attendee’s eyes to new possibilities of collaboration to bring a positive impact in our communities and society as a whole. It has been a great experience to see these athletes expand their knowledge and also bring new ideas to the family office world. I am excited to continue working with them to build a bigger community where professional athletes, celebrities, family offices, and institutional investment experts can come together to make a positive impact on society.”
“I was completely moved by the passion these athlete influencers share and what they are doing to re-invest, re-invigorate and even re-imagine some of the communities they grew up in and continue to support. The mentality of the team player and how that translates into doing business and living your life especially resonated at this time when we all seem to be so divided. We can all take lessons from any of these professionals on how to have transformational impact on those around us.”
