Responsible Investment Forum

The Responsible Investment Forum, hosted by PEI (Private Equity Intelligence), convenes private market leaders for two days of strategic dialogue on March 18-19, 2026, in New York City. Drawing approximately 250-350 senior professionals—CIOs, ESG heads, stewardship leads, and portfolio managers from institutional investors, pension funds, and alternative asset managers—the forum serves as a key convening point for decision-makers evaluating impact partnerships, sustainability platforms, ESG benchmarks, and stewardship policies. With over 130 confirmed speakers from major fund managers and allocators in private markets, attendees explore how private markets integrate sustainability as a value creation driver, analyze portfolio climate risks, and structure frameworks for achieving net-zero targets. Sessions address sustainable and impact investing trends spanning climate-focused funds, engagement with high-carbon companies, and regulatory shifts. The forum provides unmatched networking among institutional investors managing large portfolios with authority to influence firm-wide ESG commitments and capital allocation decisions.
