瑞士不断发展的影响力投资生态系统内幕
Ahead of Building Bridges 2025, we sat down with Sabine Döbeli and Veronica Baker, from our Founding Partner Swiss Sustainable Finance, to learn about what has happened since our last event with the GSG Impact “Swiss National Partner” launch.
Since launching the Swiss Platform for Impact Investing (SPII) at Building Bridges last year, where have you seen the most exciting or surprising collaboration emerge?
Veronica: It was such a meaningful moment to officially launch Swiss Platform for Impact Investing (SPII) at Building Bridges in December. The year before, we held a closed-door session to introduce the initiative and invite others in and it was great to see how that groundwork helped bring more organisations into the conversation by the time we launched. It felt very fitting to do it at BB, with its collaborative spirit. Since then, we’ve been quite busy laying the foundation: our board has been developing a theory of change, and we’re preparing to launch the website and a quarterly SPII newsletter later this month.
最让我印象深刻的是我们与全球影响力投资网络(GIIN)联合举办的系列网络研讨会。每场研讨会都围绕影响力投资领域的一个特定主题展开,每次重点介绍GIIN的一项资源或工具,并邀请正在积极使用这些资源或工具的瑞士从业者进行深入探讨。我们探讨过医疗保健和气候解决方案等话题,反响非常热烈。.
我们与GSG Impact合作的另一大收获是他们庞大的网络,这个网络非常友好。目前,我们正携手开展一项欧盟范围内的影响力投资市场规模评估工作。这对于了解投资规模和关键参与者至关重要。与此同时,SFG和iGravity正在牵头开展一个项目,旨在绘制瑞士的影响力投资生态系统图谱。看到SPII框架下已经汇聚了如此多的资源,远远超出了SSF自身的范围,这充分展现了SPII作为连接不同参与者和倡议的桥梁的巨大潜力。.
萨宾:是的,我们从一开始就意识到,确实需要更有意识地将不同的参与者聚集在一起。维罗妮卡提到的那些项目就体现了这种意愿。你可以感受到一股势头正在积聚。人们希望更深入地参与其中,超越个人行动,共同构建一个更强大、更紧密联系的生态系统。SPII 为这种对话创造了空间,使其更加系统化、更具影响力。
人们经常谈论可持续金融的工具和政策,但是信任和人际关系在取得进展中有多重要?
萨宾:这绝对至关重要。在组建SPII执行委员会时,我们特意确保了观点的平衡。我们邀请了来自整个生态系统的参与者——专业资产管理公司、可持续投资团队、行业协会以及像瑞士联邦经济事务秘书处(SECO)这样的公共部门机构。这对于奠定包容性和开放性的基础至关重要,同时也有助于建立必要的信任。这也体现了我们对影响力投资的愿景,即影响力投资应涵盖多种资产类别,而不仅仅局限于私募股权或私募债务。
维罗妮卡:我完全同意。SPII 的主要目标之一是在目前仍相当分散的领域中建立社群意识。我们看到日内瓦和苏黎世之间存在差异,不同类型的投资者之间也存在差异。家族办公室往往拥有深厚的专业知识,而其他机构资产所有者可能还处于起步阶段。要弥合这些差异,我们需要信任。拥有多元化且业绩卓著的董事会有助于建立这种信任,这不仅体现在 SPII 内部,也体现在影响力投资作为推动变革的重要杠杆这一理念中。
您认为瑞士在可持续金融领域处于领先地位吗?如果是,是什么原因使其能够做到这一点?
萨宾:我们已经对瑞士可持续投资市场进行了八年多的分析,市场一直保持着强劲的发展势头。当然,几年前市场出现了一些波动,但我认为这实际上引发了一些有益的反思,并帮助我们继续前进——我们在今年的市场研究数据中看到了明显的转机。
When people ask this question, I always say: it depends how you define leadership. In terms of product development, Swiss asset managers have been incredibly innovative. Many globally significant offerings originated here. One example is the first impact fund available to private investors. During the first Building Bridges we published a report listing all global firsts in sustainable finance created in Switzerland.
在监管方面,瑞士奉行原则性方法,这种方法有利有弊。尤其是在欧盟逐步取消某些措施的当下,瑞士的模式或许更具韧性。在某些领域,例如自然风险和气候风险,我们确实处于领先地位。瑞士金融市场监管局(FINMA)是全球首个要求金融机构考虑这些风险的监管机构。.
尽管如此,在需求方面,尤其是在机构投资者方面,我们尚未处于领先地位。我们的养老基金市场高度分散,由众多小型参与者组成,这与拥有大型集中式基金的国家截然不同。这使得我们难以深入探讨影响力投资等复杂议题。.
维罗妮卡:我们看到所有可持续投资方式,包括影响力投资,都实现了稳步增长。但影响力投资目前仍是其中较小的一环。部分原因是它需要更多:明确的投资目标、严格的衡量标准以及长期的投入。我认为瑞士在规模化方面还有很大的发展空间,包括扩大投资规模以及将影响力投资策略扩展到更多资产类别。
媒体上有很多关于ESG(环境、社会和治理)反弹的讨论。你认为这在数据中有所体现吗?
维罗妮卡:没错,媒体上确实充斥着对ESG(环境、社会和治理)的负面报道,但我们与会员交流时,大多数人表示并未感受到投资兴趣大幅下降。市场对可信且高质量的影响力投资依然有需求。尤其是在影响力投资领域,吸引这类投资者的通常是长期投资者。他们受信念驱动……受个人信仰和实际成果的驱动。这些产品能够兑现承诺,并有可靠的衡量指标作为支撑。正是这些因素帮助这一市场抵御了负面舆论的影响。
萨宾:没错。从数据角度来看,我们只根据掌握可靠信息的基金来计算市场份额:瑞士管理的所有基金中,有一半采用了一种或多种可持续投资方法。由此可见,可持续投资显然已经成为主流一段时间了,但这并不总是能反映出其执行质量。另一方面,影响力投资仍在发展中。它尚未成为主流,但正受到越来越多的关注,围绕它的讨论也日趋成熟。
What are you hoping to get out of Building Bridges this year, and how does it tie into your work with SPII?
Veronica: Personally, Building Bridges is always one of the events I look forward to most each year. It’s not just an excuse to visit Geneva, it’s a rare opportunity to see so many people we usually only connect with online. The density of insight and exchange that happens over just a few days is really special.
SPII与瑞士特许金融分析师协会(CFA Society Switzerland)合作, 后者将举办一场面向资产所有者的研讨会,SPII主席罗莎·桑乔治奥(Rosa Sangiorgio)也将出席。研讨会旨在帮助资产所有者更好地理解影响力投资的定义及其局限性。这种清晰的认识对于建立信任和促进市场发展至关重要,我非常期待此次讨论。
Sabine: This year, SSF is co-hosting an event with WWF on sustainable real estate. Real estate is a key asset class, especially for asset owners. It can be a real lever for achieving climate and nature goals. We’re also excited about our session on carbon markets with ZCMA. It’s a field that’s re-emerging in just finance, and we believe there’s a lot of potential to strengthen its role and credibility. For me too, Building Bridges is a real highlight. It brings together a dynamic, engaged community. It’s energising to reconnect with people we already work with—and to meet new voices who are helping shape the conversation. I always come away with new ideas and renewed motivation.
