Subject: UK's Impact Investing market
hello community!
Today I would like to bring you this report from Impact Investing Institute.
Impact Investing Institute collaborated with Social Finance and published research yesterday. The research shows continued growth in the UK impact investing market. It is valued at GBP 77 billion and represents approximately 8% of the global impact investing market. It is expanding at a faster pace now than traditional investments.
The survey reveals that two-thirds of respondents plan to sustain or increase their investments in impactful companies, assets, and projects within the UK over the next 5 years.
Compared to market sizing report of 2021, fewer respondents now cite a lack of suitable investment opportunities or inadequate data and research barriers.
The full report can be accessed at LinkedIn
We have a lot of members active in impact investing. How do you feel about UK impact investing market and opportunities?
