Impact Investing

The Evolution of Impact Investing

Impact investing, once the scrappy underdog, has matured into a formidable force in the financial world. As of 2024, the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) estimates that over 3,907 organizations manage approximately $1.571 trillion in impact investing assets worldwide, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% since 2019. In contrast, the traditional global equity market, valued at $61 trillion as of 2015, has experienced a more modest growth rate. ​

Delving into asset allocation, impact investors have shown a strong preference for private markets. Private equity and private debt collectively account for nearly 73% of impact assets under management. This focus contrasts with conventional investing, where public equities often dominate portfolios. Moreover, a significant majority (74%) of impact investors aim for market-rate returns, challenging the misconception that social impact comes at the expense of financial performance. ​

However, the journey hasn't been entirely smooth. In 2024, impact funds raised $30.6 billion, a slight decrease from the previous year's $32.6 billion. While this dip might raise eyebrows, it's worth noting that the broader investment landscape faced similar headwinds. The resilience and continued growth of the sector underscore its evolving significance in aligning financial returns with positive societal outcomes.​
