Impact Investments Show Promising Returns By Kate Ahern from the Case Foundation

At the Case Foundation, we believe good data on both financial and social returns is critical to scaling impact investing. So we were encouraged to see two reports released this fall that provide new insights on promising financial returns from a range of impact investments. The first provides data from the KL Felicitas Foundation that shows that returns from its impact investments generally rose and fell with the market. The second, from InSight at Pacific Community Ventures, CASE at Duke University, and ImpactAssets, provides a number of examples of funds that enable investments across a range of asset classes and with varied risk tolerance, and that provide positive social and financial returns.
