Impact Investing

Together with achieving financial returns, an impact investor considers the social and environmental impacts of the investment.

  • "Impact investing goes beyond traditional socially responsible investing to seek out direct investments with high social or environmental impact." SOURCE:The Global Impact Investment Rating System (GIIRS), 2011
  • The total social responsible investment (SRI) Assets under Management (AuM) have increased from EUR 2.7 trillion to EUR 5 trillion since 31 December 2009. This represents a spectacular growth of around 87%.
  • The SRI/impact investing market is largely driven by institutional investors, representing 92% of the total AuM.
  • Luxembourg offers a natural domain for SRI funds, with about 45% of the world’s microfinance investment vehicle (MIV) assets registered in Luxembourg.
  • Strong support from the Luxembourg government towards SRI and microfinance funds and a wide choice of funding vehicles available to promoters and investors.
