Accelerating Innovation in Impact Investing
Impact investing is a rapidly-developing field that requires urgent continued innovation to amplify superior risk-adjusted blended returns to meet the full range of investor objectives - including an alpha-seeking private equity fund, an entrepreneur synthesizing a complex capital mix to reach scale, and a mission-driven organization addressing the critical issues of our times. We collectively need to build upon the progress of the last decade to find breakthrough ways to magnify the flow of resources that can generate superior risk-adjusted blended returns across the spectrum.
​
How can we make the market more efficient and increase the flow of resources towards compelling opportunities that fulfill the goals of the full range of market actors? This independent initiative takes forward-looking, systemic, creative, and practical approaches to leverage existing initiatives and broad cross-sector knowledge to develop breakthrough approaches that can shape the next phase of evolution for the field.

Create Superior Investment Results
How can we create, demonstrate, and communicate blended return opportunities that offer superior results, regardless of investor objectives?

Speed Leader Contributions
How can we enable leaders to contribute their insights, perspectives, and energy towards moving the field forward more quickly?
Leverage Knowledge and Technology
