Innovation for social impact
Harnessing financial innovation to allocate capital for social impact.
Private capital has always been a powerful tool for helping to solve humanity’s greatest challenges. In efforts to unlock larger amounts of the USD 200 trillion worth of private capital for social impact, a group of investors coined the term «impact investing». Traditionally, access to such investments offering a large social return with a moderate financial return has been limited to HNWIs and foundations, but new financial innovations are widening access to investors, thus enriching the impact investing ecosystem.
