Your money can change the world The Impact Investor: Lessons in Leadership and Strategy for Collaborative Capitalism offers precise details on what, exactly, impact investing entails, embodied in the experiences and best and proven practices of some of the world's most successful impact investors, across asset classes, geographies and areas of impact.

Wealth advisors/financial services professionals: With unprecedented detail on the innovative structures and strategies of impact investing funds, the book provides guidance to financial institutions on how to incorporate these investments in client portfolios. Foundations: The book explores the many catalytic and innovative ways for for-profit and non-profit investors to partner, amplifying the potential social and environmental impacts of philanthropic spending and market-rate endowment investment. Business students: By including strategies for making sound impact investments based on detailed case studies, it provides concrete lessons and explores the skills required to enhance prospects for success as a finance and business professional. Policy makers: Reinforcing the urgency of creating a supportive and enabling environment for impact investing, the book demonstrates ways policy has already shaped the sector, and suggests new ways for policymakers to support it. Corporate leaders: The book includes essential advice on the way business is and must be responding to a new generation of Millennial clients and customers, with unique insights into a form of value creation that is inherently more collaborative and outcomes-driven.

This book walks readers through the demanding task of properly executing an impact investment strategy, providing solutions to some of the most vexing challenges that arise when investing for both financial return and social impact. Readers will learn how impact investing is different from other strategies, how the organization's mission affects investment decisions and structures, and what to look for in an organization prior to investing.

"The report finds that the majority of the 52 surveyed impact investors have tempered optimism about the impact investing industry: they believe it is 'in its infancy and growing.' The investors plan to invest almost USD 4 billion over the next year, and most expect that 5-10 percent of overall portfolios will be allocated to impact investments in ten years. The analysis was done by J.P. Morgan and relied on survey data collected by the GIIN. Supporting the findings of a 2010 report that included similar data gathered by the GIIN, impact investors' expectations for financial returns range from concessionary to market-beating, indicating there is room in the market for a range of performance. The report also finds that investor use of third party systems for impact measurement has increased by 10 percent since 2010"--GIIN website.

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Finance, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, language: English, abstract: This work critically evaluates the roles and responsibilities associated with impact measurement. In order to examine the current status of impact measurement practices and reporting techniques in impact investing, the author explores the perceptions and views of impact investing by investors and asset managers and provides strategies and recommendations on how the measurement and reporting process can be improved. In the process the work explores strains around the coverage width, objectivity, participation, flexibility, rigour and attribution of impact by evaluating two investment enterprises. Impact investments have gained much prominence over the course of the past few years. In relation to other diverse forms of investments, the most noticeable aspect pertaining to impact investing is its attention on measuring the social and environmental returns that it creates. As an outcome, substantial efforts have been initiated to build measurement systems that are effective. However, there is some confusion regarding the concept of non-financial return, the impact and its evaluation within practice.

This book illustrates the impact that a focus on environmental and social issues has on both de-risking assets and fostering innovation. Including impact as a new cornerstone of the investment triangle requires investors and clients to align interests and values and understand needs. This alignment process functions as a catalyst for transforming organizational culture within an organization and therefore initiates the external impact of the organization, but also its internal transformation, which in turn escalates the creation of impact. Describing how culture is the social glue permeating all disciplines of an organization, the book demonstrates how organizational alignment can be achieved in order to allow strategic speed, innovation and learning, and provides examples of how impact can be achieved and staff mobilized It particularly focuses on impact investing, impact entrepreneurship, innovation, de-risking asset, green investment solutions and investor movements to counteract climate change and implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting culture, communication, and strategy.
