While there some challenges remain to be resolved, as outlined in the report, during
this marketplace building phase, it seems there have been numerous large-scale
achievements in the field globally. Highlights include the establishment of LeapFrog
Investments, the formation of the GIIN Investor’s Council and the global National
Advisory Boards, the development of IRIS, and creation of the Unreasonable Institute.
However, the threats outlined in the initial Monitor Institute report still hold true. As
they feared, it is too hard for some investors to move towards impact-driven portfolios
(e.g. institutional investors) and too easy for some investors to claim they are impactdriven, while actually engaging in “feel good” rather than “do good” investments. |
