Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to synthetically represent the impact-funds industry, classifying impact-oriented funds into homogeneous groups. The cluster analysisCluster analysis methodology and the correspondence analysisCorrespondence analysis are employed in order to carry out this representation. The analysis shows the statistical relevance of three dimensions—mission, geography, and size—and permits the classification of funds into four clusters: neoclassical, futurist, hermetic, and illuminate.
