Impact investing is growing significantly, with top market participants expressing confidence in both the financial performance and outcomes that their capital generates, according to a MacArthur-supported report by the Global Impact Investing Network. The 2017 Annual Impact Investor Survey finds that investors still see some significant challenges, including a shortfall of appropriate capital across the risk-return spectrum and a lack of suitable exit options. The report also cites progress: innovative deal and fund structures are more available; investors have better access to data and research on products and performance; and a growing number of investment opportunities with track records is accessible.
