Impact investing as a family
Impact investing within families brings unique questions, from joint decision-making to differences between generations. Within PYM, families share their experiences and learn from each other how to use their wealth in a meaningful way.
1. Read and get inspired
If you have money to invest, you are an investor
Marine de Waziers is a French-Belgian impact investor based in Brussels. She founded ROOM and Wealth Currents Magazine. Together with PYM, she will be hosting an evening for French-speaking female wealth holders from Belgium on October 5th.
In the end, most people only change if it improves their bottom line
Naomi is the sole grandchild and third generation in her family business, which focuses on mobile cranes and logistics real estate. Some years ago, she discovered impact investing and started sector-agnostically. She now has a dedicated impact team, with a focus on the built environment.
If you have the opportunity, impact investing is truly a great addition to your portfolio.
Sister and brother Stephanie and Adriaan ran the family business together for many years, originally founded by their grandfather in 1937. After selling the company, they each chose separately to invest part of their wealth in impact.
2. Attend an introduction webinar
Attend one of our online introductory sessions and feel free to invite a family member to join as well. This way, you will gain insight together into what impact investing entails and learn from real-life examples from other investors.
3. Speak with a PYM ambassador

Whether you are a next-gen investor, part of an entrepreneurial family, or a (female) wealth holder, we have a specific group tailored to your experience level. Interested in joining? Veerle is happy to help you find the circle that perfectly aligns with your goals and questions.
