Benjamin Cavalli, Credit Suisse Head of Wealth Management Asia Pacific & APAC Sustainability Leader:
Credit Suisse Head of Private Banking South Asia and CEO Singapore, Benjamin Cavalli “We expect the largest amount of wealth to be transferred to the next generation in the coming decade. Even as the dynamics of philanthropy change to meet this generational shift, the fundamental goal of supporting segments in society who are most in need of financial attention remains unchanged.
We look forward to seeing how the Philanthropists Connect, along with our white paper and our NextGen programs inspire change-makers toward making deep and sustained impact in the causes they support.”
Naina Subberwal Batra, AVPN CEO:
“Asia has tremendous potential to contributing towards the Sustainable Development Goals and we must build on the progress we have made thus far. Asian philanthropy is now at an important crossroad as many philanthropists are keen to apply a social impact lens to all of their personal, business and investment decisions. The time to leverage all forms of capital towards innovative social and environmental solutions, as well as to collaborate and scale these solutions, is now.”
Strategic Philanthropy Trends in Asia-Pacific
- Asia is growing wealthier even as the pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and social and environmental issues. The Ultra-High Net Worth Individuals population is expected to grow by 38% over the next five years, and around 35% of wealth will be transferred to the next generation in the next 5 to 7 years.
- Next-generation philanthropists are looking to deepen the impact of philanthropy through the strategic use of social investment tools in tandem with grant-making, to bring about deeper, longer-lasting impact.
- Philanthropists are recognizing the need for collaboration as they work towards common goals.
Case Study Insights on Philanthropy
- Co-creating solutions for long-term impact. Philanthropists are increasingly interested in being involved in the design and structuring of social solutions.
- Moving beyond financial giving. Philanthropists are increasingly sharing their social capital including expertise and networks to further the causes they care about. By sharing their skills and strategic advice, they enable
recipient organizations to build their capacity, grow and create greater impact. - Adopting an ecosystem perspective. Philanthropists are starting to consider how to address the root causes of systemic social and economic challenges, as opposed to treating the symptoms.
- Responding to changing needs on the ground and developments in the broader ecosystem . Effective philanthropists stay connected to needs on the ground by engaging with local communities and staying abreast of changes and developments. They also stay connected to the broader landscape to understand how macro changes such as climate change and pandemics may affect the causes and communities they are seeking to impact.
- Harnessing the risk appetite of philanthropy to generate new solutions. Compared to most, philanthropists have more latitude to fund high-risk, out-of-the-box ideas in the
hope of generating scalable solutions for transformative impact. They are increasingly using philanthropic dollars as risk capital to build new solutions to existing problems alongside the public, private and social sectors.
Inaugurated in 2011, the Philanthropists Forum is designed to inspire and share practices among like-minded ultra-high net worth clients in the space of philanthropy, as well as to discuss the most urgent issues in philanthropy today. The first Forum in 2011 launched SymAsia Foundation, Credit Suisse’s dedicated client philanthropy platform.
