Concerns and Countermeasures

Chapter 5 in Impact Investment Funds for Frontier Markets in Southeast Asia, 2015, pp 106-138 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Several concerns and investment risks exist that make the value proposition of impact investment in the frontier countries of Southeast Asia less inviting. Overlaying impact investing with this particular region unites two hot topics: Because the investment strategy is relatively new with only a sparse track record, little experiential data about financial returns exist. Frontier market investment, on the other hand, has a longer history, but has been a risky specialist domain mostly reserved for professional investors, as we have seen in Chapter 3. Even though it seems straightforward in theory, impact investment has many facets. It is hardly a household term and requires thorough explanations and disclosures for investors, investees, and regulators.
