William Michael Cunningham to speak at Opal Group's Virtual ESG and Impact Investing Forum

WASHINGTON - April 5, 2021 - PRLog -- William Michael Cunningham is happy to announce that he will be speaking at the 6th annual OPAL ESG & Impact Investing Forum. ESG and 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.

With the creation of some of the first institutional impact investment vehicles, (https://www.creativeinvest.com/minoritybankmbs.html) starting in 1992, Creative Investment Research has been leading the way in the field. Our clients have been at the forefront of developments in the field, (https://www.creativeinvest.com/ReferenceLettersFromWGL-ELCA.pdf) and we have been proud to serve them by creating high social impact investment vehicles and initiatives. Among the initiatives we have created include a proposal for the first "crowdfunding-like" investment vehicle (https://www.creativeinvest.com/AmBankerKehCrowdfundingArt...) and the first large-cap equity Diversity Portfolio.

Impact investing strategies are also proving to be able to generate returns in line to their traditional counterparts. Over the next three decades, it is estimated that over $68+ 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 ESG & 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, comparing ESG vs Impact trends and the role of the investor are just a few of the stimulating topics to be covered at this event.

As one of the original impact investing analysis firms, Mr. Cunningham and the firm he founded, Creative Investment Research, are proud to participate in this event.
