To scale impact investing with integrity, education is needed for both finance professionals and business managers. In support of this, the GIIN’s membership team has developed a series of on-demand video modules exclusively for GIIN members that are particularly suited for individuals who work at an investing firm but may not be directly involved in impact investing. These resources aim to support members by raising internal awareness and understanding of impact investing which builds capacity and momentum for this work. Below is a snippet of the first module in the series. Here, we talk about the definition and core characteristics of impact investing, its evolution and recent trends.

"While we have seen family office engagement since the beginning of the GIIN, it does feel as though there's a moment now where this has the potential to expand significantly," says GIIN CEO and Co-founder Amit Bouri in an interview with Jennifer Forrest for Environmental Finance. Family offices are at the forefront of a growing wave in impact investing. As private wealth becomes more attuned to global challenges, the drive for solutions addressing climate change, inequality and social development has never been stronger. Family offices play a particularly important role in providing catalytic capital and participating in blended finance transactions to unlock larger pools of capital. This surge in interest underscores the critical role family offices play in advancing sustainable and impactful financial practices. 🔗 Read more about how family offices are shaping the future of impact investing here: https://lnkd.in/eXeC_SDa #ImpactInvesting #FamilyOffices #ClimateFinance #PrivateWealth

Asia’s impact investing market is rapidly growing, with 89% of impact investors reporting financial returns exceeding or in line with their expectations, and with 46% of impact capital going to the energy sector. These are some of the latest insights from the GIIN’s recent market intelligence report, In Focus: Impact Investing in Asia 2024, which draws on data from our 2024 Impact Investor Survey. This report explores trends and insights from 68 Asia-focused investors managing over $38 billion USD in impact AUM. Download the full report for a deep dive into allocations, performance and the pivotal role of private capital in driving inclusive growth across Asia: https://lnkd.in/dw__emSJ A few key findings suggest what might be shaping the region's impact investing landscape: 📈 Asia-focused impact investors are satisfied with both their impact and financial returns: 89% of Asia-focused impact investors reported their financial returns were outperforming or in line with expectations, and 88% report the same for their impact reflecting an expanding impact investment market in Asia, where investors are more confident in their decisions and can move larger sums of capital. 🌏 Allocations to the region from both within and outside it are expected to increase: 49% of global investors plan to increase their allocations to Southeast Asia in the coming year. In contrast, 60% of Asia-focused investors are looking to boost allocations to East Asia. ⚡ Investors are prioritizing the energy sector and growth-stage companies: East Asia-focused investors allocated almost half (46%) of their impact AUM to the energy sector and 58% of Asia impact AUM is going to growth-stage companies, which is significantly higher than the global average of 30% invested into growth stage businesses. Share your thoughts in the comments on which insights stood out to you.

Sustainable & impact investing specialist. Founder & Managing Partner. Board Member. Entrepreneurial approach to bring impact investing to the next level.
This panel on #ClimateSolutionsInvesting was just great. It demonstrated how different investors help driving capital towards climate solutions, each with its own strategy and playing a particular role. This is ecosystem building. 👉 The Family Office aims for a total climate portfolio thereby playing a catalytic role and building markets. 👉 The two insurers allocate institutional capital to climate solutions through various asset classes. 👉 The two asset managers help educate investors and offer a variety of financial products with different climate solutions strategies. Thank you Anne Amanda Bangasser, Danielle Brassel, Micha Balsiger, Amara G., Karim Sayyad, CFA and Elina Rolfe! Thank you, #BuildingBridges, for hosting this session, organized by The Global Impact Investing Network.

Investors need guidance to support measuring, managing and optimizing the impact of their investments. The GIIN's IRIS+ system does just that, and today we've launched new resources on #IRIS+ that focus on addressing climate risk: https://lnkd.in/gJPSEqiZ The climate adaptation and resilience theme provides investors the clarity they need to make better decisions when it comes to allocating capital to investments that seek to: 🌎 Help communities adapt to climate risk 🌳 Increase agricultural resilience through technology ⚡ Improve the resilience of our electrical grids 🏠 Improve households' resilience to flood risk Moving more money to investments that help us adapt and be more resilient to extreme weather will make a huge difference in everyone's lives by supporting farmers, reducing power outages, protecting our neighbors from floods and much more. But we have to pick up the pace and we have to do so with integrity by using impact measurement and management tools that tell us how investing can drive positive real-world outcomes. Explore the theme on IRIS+ today. This work is supported by Omidyar Network India and developed in partnership with Winrock International and over 150 expert stakeholders. #climatechange #adaptation #climaterisk #greenjobs #imm #impactinvesting
