Turner Impact Portfolio Challenge
Objective
<b>The Turner Impact Portfolio Challenge is dedicated to:</b>
- Empowering students to integrate impact into strategic asset allocation
- Providing exposure to real-world investment opportunities
- Simulating the complexities of portfolio execution and impact reporting
- Bridging classroom theory with practical application
Description
The Challenge is open to teams of graduate students currently enrolled in U.S. universities.
Each team must have 3 to 5 members, all of whom must be full-time graduate students at the time of submission. Team members may come from different years and graduate programs within the same university. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary teams to foster a well-rounded mix of expertise and perspectives. PhD students and those enrolled in executive programs are not eligible.
Participants should have a strong interest in how capital can be aligned with social and environmental impact, and a basic understanding of investment strategies. The Challenge is designed to combine the analytical rigor of investment management with a commitment to meaningful, measurable change.
As philanthropic and development organizations increasingly collaborate with mainstream capital markets, new models for sustainable finance are emerging. This Challenge is for those ready to engage both worlds--and shape the future of impact investing.
