Impact investing challenges the traditional belief that social and environmental issues should be tackled solely through philanthropic donations, while private sector investments should aim only at financial gains.

The collective resources of government and philanthropy alone are inadequate to address the numerous development challenges of the twenty-first century. The impact investment industry presents a range of diverse and viable opportunities for investors to support social and environmental solutions while simultaneously generating financial returns.
