Welcome to The Impact Investor, where you will find news, indepth reporting, and analysis of a rapidly evolving space in the capital markets where the world of profit seeking and the world of creating positive social and environmental outcomes meet and merge.
Impact investing represents a complement to traditional socially responsible investing. The latter uses either negative screens or selects “best in class” to create a portfolio of publicly traded investments. Impact investors are investing in “purpose built” enterprises and funds created from the ground up to achieve desired social and/or environmental impacts.
