About the
Investor Leadership Network
Launched at the 2018 G7, Investor Leadership Network (ILN) is a highly curated, CEO-led coalition of leading institutional investors representing more than US$10 trillion in assets under management across seven countries.
ILN operates as a member-led platform where investors pool expertise, capital perspectives, and institutional influence to translate best practices into practical industry guidance. Working across three core areas, climate, talent and culture for the future, and public-private partnerships, the Network develops evidence-based frameworks and resources that help institutional investors navigate shared challenges and act with greater confidence.
ILN’s differentiators are its strategic size, global reach, and CEO-level commitment. Through member-led advisory committees, high-level convenings, and targeted catalytic groups, the Network moves from insight to application, producing outputs that members can put to work.
A central Secretariat supports coordination, continuity, and execution across workstreams, while strategic direction is set by member CEOs and the Board of Directors. ILN works closely with governments, foundations, multilateral institutions, and peer organizations, while remaining independent and investor-driven.
Interested in collaborating with ILN? We would be glad to hear from you.
