In this episode of Turbo Impact, Serge LeVert-Chiasson, Managing Partner at Sarona Asset Management, joins host Kenny Chen to examine why emerging markets should be viewed not only through risk, but also through growth, resilience, and inclusion. In these markets, disciplined impact investing can strengthen returns by reducing environmental, social, and governance risks, improving business performance, and expanding future exit opportunities.

The central constraint for global investors is not a lack of opportunity, but the trusted investment infrastructure needed to access it. Through its fund-of-funds model, Sarona connects global capital with local managers who bring the networks, judgment, and execution capabilities these markets require. The next phase of impact investing will depend on strengthening those local ecosystems and building credible pathways for a new generation of capital to participate.

Key Topics Covered

• Emerging markets as sources of growth, diversification, and impact
• Impact discipline can reduce risk while strengthening shareholder value
• Local managers connect global capital with opportunities outsiders often miss
• Credible measurement begins with a clear and focused theory of change
• The next phase of impact investing depends on trusted investment infrastructure

In this episode of Turbo Impact, Praveg Patil, Head of Asia Pacific – Impact & Private Equity at M&G Investments, joins host Kenny Chen to examine the next phase of impact investing. Impact private equity can move into the institutional mainstream when positive outcomes are embedded in the business model—turning purpose into a driver of growth and competitive advantage rather than a concession on returns.

Drawing on M&G Catalyst’s global experience, Praveg contrasts innovation-led opportunities in developed markets with the potential to scale proven solutions across emerging economies. The industry’s defining constraint is not a shortage of ideas, but the patient growth capital required to transform promising solutions into commercially significant businesses.

Key Topics Covered

• Embedding impact in the business model to strengthen growth and competitive advantage
• Innovation-led opportunities in developed markets and scalable solutions in emerging economies
• Technology as a multiplier of environmental and social impact at scale
• Building institutional confidence through performance evidence and consistent measurement
• Closing the patient-capital gap between early innovation and commercial scale

In this episode of Turbo Impact, Ben Morley, Partner and Director at Boston Consulting Group, joins host Kenny Chen to explore how the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI) is creating a common language for sustainability across private markets. What began as a collaboration among a small group of GPs and LPs has grown into a global initiative representing more than 500 investors and providing sustainability insights from approximately 9,000 portfolio companies.

Drawing on the EDCI benchmark, Ben highlights where private companies are leading, where gaps remain, and how performance evolves over the ownership period. He shares practices that connect sustainability data with commercial outcomes and portfolio company buy-in, while examining the emerging priorities revealed by EDCI’s growing body of insights—and what they could mean for the next phase of private-market value creation.

Key Topics Covered

• Why fragmented sustainability reporting created a collective challenge for private markets
• How industry-led convergence improves comparability while keeping metrics practical
• What EDCI data reveals about portfolio performance over the ownership period
• How leaders build portfolio company buy-in by connecting sustainability with business priorities
• Turning data and benchmarks into stronger operating and investment decisions
• Emerging convergence areas across workforce strategy, cybersecurity, and responsible AI
