The Mission Mandate: Aligning Capital with Climate, Communities, and Long-Term Value

Thank you to everyone who joined or registered for Meketa’s Mission-Driven Investment Day. We are pleased to share the replay of this panel featuring Nick Abel, John Balbach, and Ryan Decker, who as a panel explored bold ideas and innovative approaches shaping the next generation of investing.

Institutional investors are increasingly expected to ensure their capital drives more than financial returns. This panel brought together mission-driven leaders who focus on addressing climate change, strengthening communities, supporting local economies, and improving outcomes for the planet and for the people they serve. Panelists discuss how they define and operationalize their mandates, identify investable themes, balance return and mission priorities, and innovate in response to shifting economic, environmental, and social conditions. The conversation highlighted real challenges, lessons learned, and opportunities that are shaping the future of mission-driven investing.
