What is Impact Investing?

Do you wonder what impact investing is all about? Watch this short video to get up to speed..! DOEN Participaties B.V., Finance in Motion, Volta Capital and Pymwymic teamed up to spread the word about impact investing.
"According to research by the Financial Times the amount of capital invested in impact has doubled over the last five years. But what is it exactly? The most accepted definition for Impact Investing is: “investing with the specific objective of achieving positive social and/or environmental impact as well as financial return”. So, a positive impact AND financial return.
Impact investing is not an asset class. It is an investment approach across all asset -classes, -themes & -geographies and has a full range of risks and returns. For example, impact investments can range from: ‘a direct private equity investment in a fintech company that’s providing access to finance to underserved populations’, to ‘a loan supporting sustainable agricultural businesses’. Or from ‘a note subscription in a renewable energy fund’ to ‘a share purchase in a sustainable forestry fund’.
When looking at the Impact side one can ask: where do you want to create impact? This can be in services or in products provided; such as building solar powered lamps for developing regions, developing natural washing products, or producing healthy foods. Impact can also be made in the way business are run. Or even on multiple levels, such as safeguarding the mining of fair raw materials, honest working conditions, waste management or offering jobs to those who have less opportunities. Such frontrunner companies aim to change the entire industry they work in!
When considering to start impact investing, there are a few things we can advise:
Decide on what you care about and what your strategy is to approach this
Carve-out some funds to experiment, and
Learn from experienced peers, professionals and intermediaries
Then… just get started. Don’t wait."
