Subsidy and Synergy: How Philanthropy Can Complement Impact Investing More Effectively The original goal of impact investing was to build out the funding spectrum between #philanthropy and commercial #investment. But according to Asad Mahmood at Social Investment Managers & Advisors (SIMA Funds), the arrival of private equity firms — promising scale and market-rate financial returns — has pulled all the sector’s energy toward the commercial end of the spectrum. He explores the key role philanthropic subsidy has played in the development of #EmergingMarkets business, clarifies some misconceptions about its role in impact investing, and proposes some ways #philanthropists and #ImpactInvestors can better align their efforts. https://bit.ly/49lcUkE #ImpactInvesting #SocialEnterprise #microfinance #partnerships #sustainability #EnergyAccess #scale #BusinessDevelopment

About us
NextBillion is an open forum for the development through enterprise sector. An initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan, the site is a community of business leaders, social entrepreneurs, NGO managers, policy makers, academics and others exploring the connection between development and for-profit business. We publish guest-written content from entrepreneurs, researchers and others working on the ground in emerging markets, along with regular interviews with the thought-leaders who are shaping the sector. NextBillion also offers an editor-curated news feed, a calendar of important events, and a jobs board with continuously updated employment opportunities across the development through enterprise sector. Most of our content is published free of charge, with the goal of advancing knowledge and promoting discussion. But we also offer content partnerships to organizations that want additional coverage on the site.
