Why did Robeco join the NAB community?
Robeco is dedicated to creating wealth and well-being through innovative, research-driven products, with a clear focus on future growth. We are stewards of our clients’ capital and hold that responsibility close to our core. It is crucial that, as an industry, we develop and employ tools that maximize the impact our clients' assets can generate. To achieve this, we need to collaborate, share best practices, and even challenge each other from time to time. By bringing together some of the key players in the industry, the NAB Community offers a great platform to engage with peers and collectively raise the bar for impact investing.
What do you expect from your membership?
We are excited to further deepen our involvement in the impact investing community and hope for an active exchange of knowledge and open debates around new developments and changing expectations, allowing us to adapt in a continuously evolving field. Additionally, we look forward to engaging with both asset owners and asset managers to identify and address barriers to scaling impact investments, as well as optimizing the impact of existing investments.
How would you like to contribute to the NAB mission?
For us, we balance the clients’ goals of return, risk, and impact through listening to their objectives and tailoring the outcome accordingly, and we have shown the expertise and capabilities to deliver these solutions. Drawing on many years of experience in impact-aligned and impact-generating investments, we are in a good position to participate in community discussions, share our expertise, and support initiatives that promote industry advancement. In addition, research is at the heart of our DNA, so we are always eager to engage in collaborative research and share our research insights. Overall, we look forward to becoming an active member of the NAB community, fostering a collaborative environment where we can collectively learn and address common challenges.
