A majority of impact investors, who seek to create positive social or environmental impact beyond financial return, are optimistic about the impact investing industry, according to a new study.
While investors believe the industry is "in its infancy and growing," they have a positive outlook, and plan to invest almost $4 billion over the next year. Moreover, they expect that impact investments will compose 5% to 10% of portfolios over the next 10 years.
J.P. Morgan and the Global Impact Investing Network earlier this month released Insight into the Impact Investment Market, which highlights 52 impact investors' perspectives on the state of the industry, as well as data analysis on more than 2,200 of their portfolio investments.
