  • To this end the researchers are launching a survey for practitioners, academics, policy makers and "clients" of the Social Economy to understand how each group values and conceptualizes measurement both within their organization and within the Social Economy as a whole.  Participation is completely voluntary. Completing this survey should take from 30 to 45 minutes of your time. Be assured that the information you provide will be kept strictly confidential and is anonymous. Results will only be presented in the aggregate so that no individuals can be identified.  If you are interested participating please click the following link:   http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/evaluating_impact

    "Impact investing can be broadly defined as investments aimed at solving social or environmental challenges while generating financial return. Examples of impact investing include community investing, where capital is specifically directed to traditionally underserved individuals or communities, or financing that is provided to businesses with a social purpose or to enterprising (i.e. revenue-generating) non-profits.  According to data collected by the Canadian Social Investment Organization (SIO) there is a total of $4.45 billion  in impact investing assets in Canada, a dramatic increase from $1.4 billion in 2008. While there has certainly been growth over the last two years in particular segments of the impact investing industry, a significant reason for the large increase in assets is that the SIO was able to capture more organizations in their 2010 survey. For example, this is the first year that the SIO was able to include the impact investing assets of foundations and Canadian international investors.  Despite the fact that there was some real growth in the industry over the last two years, because of the inclusion of assets not captured in the past, and some adjustments made to the categorization of assets, it is difficult to make meaningful conclusions about the extent of real growth."

  • Investing money to make a difference goes by several names, with "ethical", "impact", "green" and "socially responsible" among the industry favourites. But the definition is generally the same: returns are usually sacrificed in the name of doing good. This view is set to change, according to a report titled Impact Investing in Emerging Markets, by the consultancy Responsible Research.
  • The report has found impact investing in emerging markets is becoming more attractive to fund managers, private equity companies and retail investors worldwide, because the returns are now more compelling. The research cites a survey by the Global Impact Investing Network which found investors anticipate a return of between 20 and 24 per cent this year on their interests in impact companies working in emerging markets.

  • WillowTree is raising cash from investors around the world and has nearly reached its target of US$80 million (Dh293.8m).

    It will use these funds to take equity stakes in companies involved in education, health, food, poverty alleviation and community development, investing between $500,000 and $10m in each project.

    The private equity fund is focusing on the Middle East, North Africa and south Asia.
