Announcing the Investing for Global Impact Report 2018 – June 2018 - London

For the past five years, the Investing for Global Impact Report has provided a global benchmark for impact investing  and an insight into the key themes and challenges facing the impact investing space; including the marriage between philanthropy and impact investing, how investors connect with causes that resonate and the increasing expectations of donors.

Over 300 respondents representing Foundations, Family Offices and HNW Individuals participated in the 2018 survey, a 32% year-on-year increase with an estimated $123bn of cumulative managed wealth.

Overview

Family offices, foundations and high-net-worth individuals are continuing to be committed to applying their capital to being the social/environmental change they wish to see in the world. Their motivations are little changed from previous reports: a sense of ‘responsibility to make the world and better place’ and to ‘contribute to sustainable development’ however these intrinsic motivations are not inherently linked to formal, international change-making frameworks, this survey found.
