• What Is Impact Investing?

Impact investing refers to investment strategies that intentionally seek positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside financial returns. Unlike traditional investing, impact investing aligns capital with purpose — tackling global challenges like climate change, financial inclusion, health, and education.

Key Components:

• Intentionality: Investments made with a stated purpose of impact
• Measurability: Transparent metrics and performance tracking
• Financial Return: Risk-adjusted returns expected alongside impact outcomes
