5 Welcome Dear Participants, On behalf of Watershed Capital Group, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 1st Annual Impact Capitalism Summit at the Union League Club of Chicago. You are participating in a landmark event, the first national gathering to take a portfolio approach to Impact Investing focused on institutional investors deploying capital across asset classes for return and impact. The idea for the Summit evolved from a series of regional Impact Capitalism Circles organized by Watershed Capital starting in 2011 and held in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Atlanta, Portland, and Seattle. These half-day events brought together family offices, foundations, and other institutional investors to discuss how to maximize return and impact across asset classes. The high interest level in the Circles warranted a national gathering. This year's conference draws attendance from leading family offices, foundations, global wealth investment firms, investment advisors, fund managers, government, companies and service providers who make up the growing ecosystem of the Impact Capitalism community. The Summit will represent one of the largest gatherings of investable assets focused on Impact Investing in the world. The focus of the Summit will be on SmarterMoney + : Maximize Impact + Maximize Return. The conference program is built around three components. The first is a set of panels around five key asset classes Public Equity, Public Debt, Private Equity, Private Debt, and Direct Investments. There will also be panels specific to family offices, foundations, and recent research in the space. Finally, attendees will hear from ten fund managers/companies across the five asset classes. This Summit provides a rich environment for learning as well as business development opportunities with peers. The purpose of the event is educational with respect of providing information about the Impact Investing sector and is not designed to sell securities or investments. Welcome to the Summit. Sincerely, Shawn Lesser Co-Chairs, Impact Capitalism Summit Michael Whelchel 6
