As the global financial landscape shifts, the impact investing market emerges as a compelling frontier.

The reading of the ‘GIINsight: Sizing the Impact Investing Market 2022‘ report reveals findings that deeply resonate with impact investors, entrepreneurs, and passionate stakeholders alike.

Here are my 4 takeaways:

1. The impact investing market has reached the milestone of USD 1 trillion.

According to GIIN, impact investing accounts for USD 1.164 trillion in assets under management.

2. The sector is growing worldwide, despite disruptions from COVID.

The industry continues to expand as new players enter the market and existing impact investors ramp up their commitments.

3. We need more impact investments, and we need them urgently.

With 2030 swiftly approaching, capital allocation for SDG targets remains significantly below what’s required. The estimated funding gap stands at $4.2 trillion.

4. Impact investing can make a difference.

The OECD estimates that merely 1.1% of all assets held by banks and institutional asset owners could bridge the funding gap.

Investors play a crucial role in scaling impact solutions and building a more just, sustainable world.
