BOSTON, MA, April 18, 2024 – Barbara McKenna, Managing Principal and Portfolio Manager at Longfellow Investment Management, will speak at The Impact Investing Conference 2024 at Yale School of Management on April 27. Barbara will be participating on the panel, “ESG is Not Impact.”

The world of investing is constantly evolving and adapting to new challenges and issues. In 2024, as our society faces issues such as climate change, social inequality, and the healthcare crisis, the need for impactful investments has never been greater. Impact Investing serves to generate social benefits along with financial gains. However, Impact Investing continues to be in the news and there are many challenges that the area still faces. Should ESG be synonymous with Impact Investing? What are the challenges founders and investors face in today’s financial environment? How do we solve for a lack of representation in investing? These topics and more are to be discussed at the upcoming conference.
