Abstract: Abstract The practice of impact investment is becoming increasingly prominent. The Monitor Institute posits that in the past few years, hundreds of new impact investment funds with billions of dollars in potential investments have appeared across the globe.1 According to a 2012 survey of over 100 impact investment funds by the Global Impact Investment Network (GIIN), participating funds committed US$8 billion in capital to impact investments and planned to commit another US$1 billion in the following year.2
