Make your capital go further. Exploring impact investing as a complement to philanthropy.
What is impact investing?
Impact investing is a way to use your investments to generate both financial returns and positive social or environmental impact. Unlike traditional philanthropy, which focuses on giving money away, impact investing allows you to support causes while growing your capital.
Key features of impact investing include:
- Investment with purpose – Supporting businesses, funds, or projects that create measurable positive outcomes, such as renewable energy, social housing, or Indigenous enterprise.
- Financial and social returns – Aiming for both financial gains and meaningful impact, rather than prioritising profit alone.
- Diverse opportunities – Investments can range from ethical shares and green bonds to social enterprises and venture capital for impact-driven startups.
- Growing the giving pool – Unlike traditional donations, impact investments can generate returns that can be reinvested or used for further philanthropy.
Impact investing is an increasingly popular way to align your wealth with your values, ensuring that capital is used to drive change while still delivering financial sustainability.
