Throughout the year we host events at Berkeley Haas and in partnership with industry. These events bring together students and practitioners in thought provoking conversation, exciting pitch competitions and to hear from industry leaders.
Upcoming Events
Career Pathways — Impact Investing Panel
March 5, 2026
Interest in impact investing careers continues to grow, but pathways into the field remain varied and often opaque. In partnership with CSSL, this panel brings together practitioners across asset management, private equity, and catalytic capital to share how they built their careers, what skills matter most, and where the market is headed. Students will have the opportunity to engage directly with leaders shaping the next generation of sustainable finance.

Rethinking Capitalism Debate Series — Part 2
March 12, 2026
Finance says it can price anything, but can it price the planet? Part 2 of the Rethinking Capitalism Debate Series examines if markets appropriately price ecological limits. Join SAIF Faculty Co-Director Panos N. Patatoukas and SAIF Lecturer Anne Simpson for differing perspectives on the true cost of capital for corporations. Expect rigorous dialogue, thoughtful disagreement, and meaningful audience engagement. This event is co-hosted by SAIF, the CRB, the Beyond Capitalism Club and Scholars of Finance.
The Rethinking Capitalism Debate Series is made possible through the generous support of SAIF Board Member and CRB Community Advisory Group, Scott Pinkus.
