Chapter 4 in Impact Investing, 2017, pp 75-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter covers the market for impact investing which is made up of various actors: networks, social investment advisors, social venture capital funds, ethical banks, social stock exchanges and crowdfunding platforms. Each actor will be described and its role analyzed. This chapter also analyzes the mechanisms available for impact investors. Socially responsible investments are a popular approach for investors in the public equity or bond market. Pay for success models are increasingly rolled out and social impact bonds are the one form that is used extensively. This chapter will also cover guarantee schemes and public subsidies, as they are important components in this sector.
