A few insights from #ImpactWeek in Bilbao, organized by Impact Europe 🌎 Market Overview: 🖊️ The European private impact investing market is valued at €190 billion, representing 2.5% of the €7.6 trillion eligible assets under management (AUM) in Europe. 🖊️ €5 billion of this total is allocated to indirect investments in fund managers outside Europe 🌎 Capital Sources for Impact Investing: Institutional investors (27%) are the leading contributors, including pension funds and insurance companies, reflecting growing confidence in impact investing’s ability to deliver measurable outcomes and stable returns. Banking institutions contribute 22% of total capital Retail investors contribute 14% 🌎 Trends in Financing Approaches: 🖊️ Investors are increasingly exploring innovative financing models, such as revenue sharing and matchmaking, as traditional equity investments often prove unsuitable for impact-driven businesses. 🚀 This resonates deeply with us, as we are also experimenting with various innovative financing models. Some of these, such as match trade and split financing, are being tested in Ukraine in collaboration with our partners - members of the The Possible Alliance, paving the way for new approaches to impact-driven investments. #impactinvestment #impactinUkraine #socialentrepreneurship

For everybody interested in #blendedfinance case studies, I recommend reading this example of a partnership between Oikocredit and Aqua for All:
🌍 Impact Investing at the GIIN Impact Forum 2024: Advancing Change Together The Global Impact Investing Network Forum 2024 held in late October in Amsterdam brought together global leaders and changemakers to shape the future of impact investing. Packed with thought-provoking discussions and collaborative workshops, it offered the tools, insights, and connections needed to address pressing global challenges with innovation and integrity. 💡 Spotlight on Aqua for All and Oikocredit 👇 Our partnership with Oikocredit was showcased in the GIIN Blended Finance Gallery, alongside 25+ impactful examples (see poster below). Together, we’re empowering financial institutions to expand #water and #sanitation portfolios across Africa and Asia. While Oikocredit delivers wholesale debt financing, Aqua for All provides technical assistance, first-loss capital, or results-based financing—creating real, tangible impact. 📢 Key Takeaway: The highlight of the GIIN Impact Forum was seeing blended finance for WASH come to life - a vision Aqua for All has championed for years. This year, we connected with fund managers driving investments in #WASH and witnessed the launch of three innovative blended funds. Backed by commercial investors, DFIs, and philanthropies, these funds creatively tackle risk while maximising impact, marking a major leap forward for the sector. 📋 Top Insights for Impact Measurement & Management Practitioners: 💡 Integrate IMM with investment decisions 💡 Use independent, credible assessments 💡 Prioritise proportionality, materiality, and aligned ambitions 💡 Collaborate across investors for consistent practices 💡 Ensure meaningful beneficiary involvement and adaptable processes.
