The Impact Investor: Lessons in Leadership and Strategy for Collaborative Capitalism is a hands-on resource that details the practices and performance of a new class of savvy investors delivering positive social and environmen-tal outcomes alongside competitive financial returns. The book is accessible to business and financial profession-als at all levels and highlights a new form of economic leadership that is more cross-sectoral, transparent, and outcomes-oriented, and in which impact investors excel. The authors offer investors, financial advisors, corporate leaders, foundations, policymakers, and students the tools needed to engage in a generational shift to a new era of Collaborative Capitalism.
The Impact Investor reveals the types of investments that can be profitable and impactful for individuals and the strategies that will enable asset managers to succeed. It also provides an unprecedented level of detail on innova-tive structures and approaches of impact investing funds, providing invaluable guidance for financial institutions on how to create impact investment products or include them in client portfolios.
Foundations will discover innovative ways that for-profit and nonprofit investors can partner to amplify the potential impacts of philanthropic and market-rate investments. Public sector officials and policy advocates will learn how government is harnessing the power of capital markets to pioneer innovative new solutions to social and envi-ronmental challenges. In addition, the authors include essential advice on the way business is—and must be— responding to a new generation of Millennial clients and customers focused on a more sustainable form of blended value creation in all aspects of their lives.
Designed as an informative and practical resource, The Impact Investor highlights strategies for making sound impact investments, offers illustrative case studies, and presents concrete lessons that will build skills and enhance prospects for professional and organizational success.

Foreword
When I reflect on impact investing and its prospects of growth to asize somewhere between the $100 billion of microfinance and the$3 trillion invested in private equity and venture capital worldwide,I often think back to the origins of venture capital—the startingpoint of my professional life.
Venture capital was a response to the needs of tech entrepre-neurs, just as impact investing is a response to the needs of a newgeneration of social entrepreneurs who seek to make a meaningfuldifference in improving people’s lives.
Noonehad thought of creating ten-year, illiquid funds, investingin small companies with very limited track records of performance,led by young people with no business experience. The responsecamebecause people sat around a table and said, “We see the future,and we have to provide the tools for it.”When I set up what becameApax Partners in 1972, few in Europe knew what an entrepreneurwas, and fewer still believed that entrepreneurs would achievemuchof consequence for our daily lives. Forty years later, they havecompletely transformed our world.
The microchip, the PC, the mobile phone, and the Internet,with its search engines and instant access to information andpeople, have revolutionized the way we live. They have broughta transformation as momentous as that which followed the creationof the alphabet and the invention of printing. Entrepreneur-ledcompanies have overtaken those that led their fields for nearly acentury. IBM was overshadowed in the space of a couple of decadesby a start-up named Apple, which is now the largest company in theworld bymarket cap; Microsoft, Amazon, Google, andOraclemade

it from start-up to being among the world’s top thirty companies injust three decades.
The tech entrepreneurial revolution was driven by innovationand risk taking. It transformed the mind-set of governments abouthow economic growth should be achieved. In the United States, inthe space of twenty-five years, it has been estimated that fifty millionjobs were lost by smokestack industries, while sixty million jobs werecreated by new companies.
Our prospect now is to provide social entrepreneurs with thefinancing they require, and in this important book, Cathy Clark,Jed Emerson, and Ben Thornley provide the first detailedinsight into how that financing has—and widely ought to be—provided.
However, even as the outstanding funds profiled in The ImpactInvestor work tirelessly to pioneer a new “Collaborative Capitalism,”there is much work to do building market and public policyinfrastructure to help a new generation of entrepreneurs replicatetheir success.
The Social Impact Investment Taskforceand the Role of GovernmentUnderstanding this need for infrastructure and the paths to itscreation has been the charge of the Social Impact InvestmentTaskforce, announced by UK prime minister David Cameron inJune 2013 and established by the G8. By the time this book ispublished, this group, which I have been privileged to chair, willhave just concluded its deliberations and published its report.
The Taskforce included a private and a public sector memberfrom seven G8 countries and the European Union (EU), andobservers from Australia and development finance institutions; itheld hearings in different countries and created four workinggroups and seven National Advisory Boards to advise on theenabling infrastructure for impact investing in various local con-texts. In total, the Taskforce has engaged more than two hundredof the world’s foremost experts on impact investing in respondingas vigorously as possible to the social challenges we face.

3GFLAST01 07/28/2014 14:1:29 Page xiii
The Taskforce has played a particularly valuable role, clarifyingthe role of government in impact investing and informing theapproaches of its different member countries by sharing examplesand lessons from efforts in each jurisdiction.
For the United Kingdom’s part, Bridges Ventures, which isfeatured in this book, provides one of the earliest examples. BridgesVentures was created as an outcome of the UK Social InvestmentTask Force fourteen years ago, which I was also privileged to lead,and, after securing half of the funding for its first fund from HMTreasury, has gone on to become one of the largest impact investorsin the world, with more than £400 million under management inboth the United Kingdom and soon in the United States—anexemplar of what this book calls “Policy Symbiosis.”
Another piece of enabling infrastructure in the United King-dom that is particularly powerful is Big Society Capital, an invest-ment “wholesaler” with £600 million of equity capital to invest insocial investment intermediaries, comprising £400 million that hassat unclaimed for fifteen years in bank and building societyaccounts, and an additional £200 million from the United King-dom’s four largest commercial banks.
Big Society Capital has already put the United Kingdom in thelead in terms of its market structure and number of social impactinvestment participants. Two dozen social impact investment inter-mediaries of significant size exist: Big Issue Invest, Bridges Ventures,Charity Bank, ClearlySo, Impetus-PEF, LGT-Berenberg, NESTA,Social Finance, Social Investment Business, and Unlimited, toname but a few. Virtually all of these have been backed by BigSociety Capital, which is building capital flows to these and othersocial organizations through equity, social impact bonds (SIBs), andunsecured and secured debt. At the start of 2013, £25 million was inimpact investment managers’ hands in the United Kingdom; at thestart of 2014, the sum was over £150 million.
From the United States we have much to learn from the expe-rience with the Community Reinvestment Act and the NewMarketsTax Credit, which together bring more than $20 billion of invest-ment a year to poorer areas of the United States. The US federalgovernment has also provided outcomes funding for SIBs and isactively engaged inpromoting impact investment through theWhiteHouse Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation.

Picture . . .. . . making an investment recommended by the local broker managing
your retirement savings and then pulling up an app on your phone thatshows the affordable housing development in your community that theinvestment is helping finance.
. . . seeing a news article on the need for more employment opportuni-ties offering sustainable wages, benefits, and professional training for thepeople of your region and then reviewing the investment report from a localfund quantifying the precise number of jobs it had supported with yourcapital.

Over recent years, the world has been witness to an acceler-ated process of economic evolution coming simultaneously fromthe fringe and the mainstream. It is a fusion of previouslydisparate areas of expertise and a vision emerging out of tradi-tional finance, community and economic development, environ-mental finance, and social entrepreneurship. Following two yearsof in-depth research, case-studying the experience and trackrecords of twelve of the leading impact investment funds operat-ing in markets around the world, The Impact Investor offers awindow through which to view this larger transformation.

The work of the twelve funds has been significant. Amongother things, they
• Created and sustained more than 1.3 million jobs in under-served markets
• Provided more than seventeen million people with access tofinance previously beyond their reach
• Managed portfolios of impact investment with more than40 percent of their investments going into women-led firmsand 60 percent of their funds invested in businesses operatedby individuals from racial and ethnic groups historicallyexcluded from mainstream financial markets
• Have raised and invested in excess of $1.3 billion in impactcapital
The funds represent but a snapshot of larger trends under wayaround the world—trends we believe have the potential to trans-form business and finance as we know them today. Although insomeways themanagers of these funds are simply taking traditionalbusiness practices and applying them to new markets, they bring aprofound new investment perspective that integrates economicopportunity within a social and environmental context. This invest-ment perspective is a new analytic mind from which all financialprofessionals may learn. As you will see explored in the pages tocome, these investors operate with what we call a “multilingual”skillset—with the capacity to speak profit and purpose, financialreturn and social impact.
If you take nothing else away from The Impact Investor, considerthis:
There is a new way of investing that is in the process of deep evolutionand no longer sits on the edge of mainstream economics and capital markets.
These managers do not think in terms of “do well and thendo good” or “financial-social trade-offs.” Rather, they think in anintegrated way that intuitively seeks to capture the full nature ofvalue through their investment strategies, seeking financialreturn with impact. They do not see impact as the uniquedomain of traditional channels of the public and nonprofitsectors. These actors and the funds they bring to market extend
xx PREFACE
3GFLAST02 07/28/2014 14:5:30 Page xxi
the work of previous investment pioneers and represent a poten-tially powerful force integrating numerous worlds into a single,sustainable whole.
These new approaches to investing are not being forced onmarkets, but are drawn into them at the same time as they areemerging out of them. The world is changing as we confront theshortcomings of an “either-or” understanding of capital—eitheryou make money or you give it away—in favor of an integratedinvestment practice that rejects the short-term approach to manag-ing long-term goals, with no consideration of off-balance-sheetfactors such as worker health or the availability of water or theenvironmental sustainability of a company’s supply chain. Some ofthe change under way in our world is about simple self-preservation(if you’re a beverage company operating in emerging markets andare not taking water issues into account, perhaps you will be in adifferent line of work five years from now!); other parts come fromthose intentionally seeking to use investment capital to drivepositive social and environmental impacts.
This book is just the latest stepping-stone in a growing body ofresearch across the fields of social entrepreneurship, blendedvalue, community development finance, microfinance, workforcedevelopment, impact assessment, sustainability, corporate respon-sibility, and socially responsible investing. In the past five years,more has been written about the purpose, scope, and activity ofthese fields than ever before, with increasing speed and regularity,from more diverse and global voices.1
What we add to the nearly daily drumbeat of new blogs andreports is a deeper empirical look at what is being done andaccomplished by funds that have established a tangible trackrecord, in order to understand this emerging field with fresheyes and to more confidently predict what will come next.
What this track record of research points toward is the realitythat impact investing is moving from anecdote to analysis, from thewhipsaw opinion of hopeful pundits to perspectives informed bysharp experience and insights grounded in practice. Our researchis drawn from the concrete experiences of twelve funds preciselybecause that level of in-depth analysis is what is now required tomove our collaborative efforts from the initial questions of “ImpactInvesting 1.0” to the next level of informed execution.

It is no accident that Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, UBS,Deutsche Bank, RBC, Bank of America, National Australia Bank, allof the High Street banks in the United Kingdom, and dozens ofother major financial institutions throughout the globe are makingstrong plays in the impact investing arena. Other investors shouldtake heed:
The train has left the station.The tremors are being felt.
Mainstream investors are reframing assumptions governingtraditional investing just as traditional philanthropists and sociallyresponsible investors are reconnecting with their initial motivationsto effectively manage assets and make use of capital to create achanged world—at the levels of individual, community, company,and market.
The rise of impact investing takes place against a largerbackdrop of innovation within mainstream capital markets andnewly emerging visions of the future of business. And much of thisis now being driven by shifts in “consumer” demand, whether atthe neighborhood level of individuals seeking to better thepossibilities before them; the customer level of those seekingto align the power of their dollars with the world they seek tocreate; or the consumers of investment strategies and vehicleswho are demanding greater transparency, less financial leverage,and expanded understandings of potential value creation gener-ated by their capital.
The funds profiled in this book show us, concretely, whatthis collaborative new world looks like—in the emerging era ofImpact Investing 2.0. The work of the twelve funds stands asa testament to the fact that capital can be structured to changethe economic conditions of those who remain largely outside theeconomic mainstream.
While a great deal has been achieved, a great deal more mustbe done. We do not pretend to offer “the answer” to the manydebates and discussions currently taking place in regard to theability of capital and companies to advance positive change in theworld; nor do we provide a template or defined roadmap. What weoffer in the following pages is a set of organizational data points,

experiences, and analysis to inform our next steps as we moveforward together. We owe a great deal to these funds willing toopen their balance sheets and reflections to outside researchers.And we are pleased to bring their lessons to all those committed toinvesting with impact to help advance the world to which we aspire.

Introduction
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.—Bob Dylan, “Subterranean Homesick Blues”
THERE WAS PROBABLY NO POINT IN HISTORY when life was truly simpleand uncomplicated. Every age, every time, every life has its chal-lenges, its complexities, its moments of uncertainty and change.Yet, in the midst of each age’s challenges comes a moment ofclarity: the need to engage in the Civil War, the ultimate validity ofbattling the Axis powers, the compelling righteousness of the civilrights movement.
Our moment is no different than others that have come before,save that the clarion call is for a new generation—figuratively andliterally, as the Millennials step into new leadership roles—toadvance new thinking with regard to the nature of capital and thepractices of investing. We now live in a world where injustice andpoverty, down the street or across theworld,may be felt in an instant.One where environmental degradation threatens not just somefuture generations we’ll never know, but the quality of life of ourchildren.Andwhat’sbeingdemanded,moreclearly thanever, acrossgenerations, is the opportunity to align every facet of our lives withmaking a positive difference, with a broader vision of a life well lived.
In this respect, in a world that technology renders increasinglyopen and interconnected, capital markets remain one of the lastbastions of imperviousness. Even though capital flows around theglobe are one of themost powerful forces shaping our societies andeconomies, most of us still invest under the pretense that theimpact of capital is divorced from its uses.

3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:27 Page 2
Yet even as our moment in history demands nothing less than afull accounting of the positive and negative outcomes of capital, athorough understanding of our role in bending environmentaland social systems toward justice, there will be those who continuetheir efforts to play the role of pundits on the sidelines as ourmodern Rome devolves into seeming chaos. Even as trillions ofdollars continue to be invested with the sole consideration offinancial return, and even as companies continue to be managedwith an eye to a single, supposedly unencumbered bottom line offinancial performance, the majority will see that larger forces arebeing unleashed in the form of a new capitalism—capitalismfocused on the generation of financial returns, yes, but a larger,more holistic economic system operated with reference to previ-ously “off-balance-sheet” factors, such as stakeholder interests andcarbon footprint—and a host of additional factors increasinglyunderstood to have influence on long-term value generation andfinancial return to investors, as well as to our well-being on theplanet.
Capitalism will continue its evolution of past decades butincreasingly turn outward, recognizing that economics and financemay no longer be viewed in isolation from those elements on whichthe capitalist engine itself draws. The new capitalism will continueto be revealed as the unifying backdrop against which innovationsand refinements will emerge. The new capitalism will not pit assetowner against wage earner, or shareholder against stakeholder, orcapitalist against community. Rather, the new capitalism clearlyemerging through the mist of history is one of complements—notcontradictions. It is a capitalism of integrated interests. It is acapitalism of shared futures and global markets played out incommunity contexts connected across the planet via the newwireless world and ultimate reality that value is a blend of environ-mental, social, and economic components—value is itself funda-mentally whole andmore than the sum of these parts. The legacy ofthe future will not be one of blind wealth creation but rathersustained value creation across generations. It is a capitalism ofcorporate and community commerce, of individual and societalchange, and, ultimately, our undeniably common interests.
It is, at its core, a Collaborative Capitalism: the realization of acommunity’s highest economic and social aspirations through the
2 THE IMPACT INVESTOR
3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:27 Page 3
enterprising deployment of ideas, capital, and shared resources inpursuit of common impact.
It is within this broad flow of global collaborative capitalism thatimpact investing takes place.
As we will explore in the following chapters, impact investing isa banner under which a host of practices now gather:
• Mainstream, private equity investors seek to integrate environ-mental, social, and governance factors into their pursuit offinancial returns.
• Pension fund fiduciaries invest with an eye to the health of thecommunities in which beneficiaries live, as well as their finan-cial interests.
• Foundations seek not simply to make charitable grants butrather to draw on the full tool kit of capital under theircontrol—grants, to be sure, but also program-related invest-ments and public and private securities—all with an eye towardsustained portfolio performance and maximizing total impact.
• Individual investors gather on crowdfunding platforms, aggre-gating their hundreds into hundreds of thousands of dollarsdirected at various types of impact andmultiple types of return.
In some ways, this is all new—yet in others, the song remainsthe same. Over a decade ago, following a presentation at the WorldEconomic Forum in Davos that included a description of the visionand practices of what may now be defined as impact investing, anaudience member rose to express how powerful he felt this newvision to be—and to point out that in many ways it was simply areturn to the fundamental principles of the traditional, privatelyheld family business managed not only for the benefit of thefounding family but also for the community (if not the region)as a whole; the family’s prosperity could not be separated from theplace they called home.
Impact investing is old-school, fundamental investing andeconomic development with a twenty-first century sustainabilitywrap. It is what good business practice was, is, and will ever be. It isearth economics and family values and profit with purpose. Inshort, it is the visible tip of the iceberg within the larger globalsystem of Collaborative Capitalism.
INTRODUCTION 3
3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:27 Page 4
In the research on which our partnership is based, the three ofus (re)discovered a set of truths that communities and societieshave forgotten:
• The most effective strategies operate with awareness not simplyof the corporate or capital context but with linkage to the “greataround” represented by the public sector and the enablingenvironment it creates.
• The strongest form of capital is a “stack” of all capital comingfrom a variety of private and public investors—each tranche ofwhich buys down risk, and positions enterprise for optimalperformance, thus enabling opportunity to be captured for thebenefit of shareholder and stakeholder alike.
• The best teams are diverse, with leaders who build from pastexperience a complex future that transcends silos and singulardisciplines or doctrines.
• The organizations—whether for-profit or nonprofit orhybrid—that are built to best stand the test of time are thosethat do not seek to artificially separate corporate mission fromfinancial discipline, but rather maintain mission as the touch-stone on which financial sustainability is grounded.
As harbingers of a new way of doing business generally—or,more accurately, a revitalized understanding of back-to-basicstruths—these axioms offer significant challenges to those whocontinue to maintain the illusion that the interests of capitaland impact are antithetical. Business models geared only to finan-cial performance, with no consideration of impact, will be decreas-ingly effective in generating consistent profits. This trend, inconcert with the preferences of Millennials, who more than anygeneration seek to blend meaning with their work and money,mean that these models will quickly become bad business inshrinking markets.
Our Two-Year StudyWe have reached the insights and conclusions in the followingpages as the result of a two-year process of observing best businesspractices in Collaborative Capitalism through our examination of
4 THE IMPACT INVESTOR
3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:27 Page 5
twelve outstanding impact investing funds that met or exceededthe expectations of their investors.
With a commitment to concurrently delivering attractive finan-cial returns and intentional social outcomes, impact investors are atthe cutting edge of Collaborative Capitalism, operating in marketsoften smaller, younger, and more idiosyncratic than mainstreaminvestors have the stomach or capacity to tackle, and that demandcross-sector skills that many mainstream investors simply do notpossess.
As a result, successful impact investing fundmanagers are extra-ordinarily creative, nimble, and resilient—all qualities we wanted toexplore and learn from when we first culled an initial universe of350 funds to 30 that were recommended by their investors.
We then decided on the final twelve funds, which were repre-sentative of the breadth of activity in impact investing, with trackrecords of financial and social performance that were suitablyrobust and sharable. The twelve funds are listed here; their impacttarget areas are illustrated in Figure I.1. With the objective ofunderstanding the key factors that had undergirded their success,we interviewed not only fund managers but also the investors inthose funds, the recipients of investor capital, and the actors withintheir immediate peer group.

Chapter 2 provides additional insight into the research process,which, in 2013, led to the largest-ever public release of perform-ance data in impact investing, despite the fact that most impactinvesting funds operate in private markets and, with only accred-ited investors, are under no obligation to share information pub-licly. Our top priority was building trust with the funds, and holdingfast to a detailed process of engagement that would ensure that

financial performance was contextualized alongside the complete,detailed story of their creation, governance, strategy, deployment,and relationship with investors and investees over the entire life ofthe fund. The aggregate financial and social performance of thefunds is presented in Figures I.2 and I.3.
What we discovered was a sophisticated marketplace that ismuch less haphazard than many have thought, and a pathway ofpractice and expertise we invite you to explore in the followingchapters.

However, this book also hasbroaderapplication, just as impact investing sits at theapexofCollabo-rative Capitalism. (We will discuss this in more detail in chapter 1.)
Although there are ongoing discussions regarding the natureand practice of impact investing, the concept really is quitestraightforward:
Impact investing is capital management in pursuit of appropriate levelsof financial return with the simultaneous and intentional creation ofmeasurable social and environmental impacts.
What’s important to understand is that the lessons of impactinvesting are also the lessons of Collaborative Capitalism, a largerfield of practice that encompasses everything from corporate social

responsibility (CSR) to operational and supply chain sustainability,public private partnership, and socially responsible investment (allin an effort to mitigate risk).
Increasingly, financial institutions and corporations around theworld are using Collaborative Capitalism as a tool to proactivelygenerate clear, positive social outcomes in addition to profits andwealth. This is a profound and transformational shift in whateconomic activity and capital make possible (adding an entirelynew measure of extrafinancial performance). From the capitalmarkets perspective, impact investing has the potential to foreverchange the way we consume financial services.
Consider this one data point from theWorld Economic Forum:Although just 6 percent of US pension funds reported in 2013 that they hadmade an impact investment, fully 64 percent expected to in the future.1
Even if it takes these pension funds decades to follow throughand just half pursue the opportunity, the ramifications are clear:impact investing is going mainstream, pushing those alreadyengaged in “risk-mitigating” capitalism to think more clearly aboutoutcomes, and those unfamiliar with Collaborative Capitalism toquickly get up to speed.
The Impact Investor speaks directly to numerous audiencestouched by Collaborative Capitalism and provides some of thefollowing important insights and easy-to-apply tools:
• For mainstream investors, including commercial institutions,fiduciaries, and individuals, The Impact Investor provides action-able insights into the characteristics and performance of arange of proven impact investing strategies. It also paints apicture of the unique skills of impact investors, and the rightquestions to ask when weighing a fund’s likelihood of deliver-ing the financial and social value it promises. The Impact Investoralso recommends concrete steps investors can take directly, intheir own portfolios, to deliver positive social or environmentaloutcomes in addition to attractive rates of financial return.
• For corporate executives, The Impact Investor provides evidencea new era of Collaborative Capitalism is emerging—the nextessential paradigm in business, building on CSR and otherevolutions in thinking regarding the place of business in advanc-ing social or environmental performance. By showcasing the

work of impact investing funds at the forefront of this trend, thisbook portends a set of practices that, in less than a decade, willbecome commonplace in all business settings. By studying thework of impact investors, business executives will gain materialinsight into a range of strategies for ensuring that their compa-nies remain profitable and sustainable. Executives will also gainskills needed to be more successful operators in a world that ismore sector agnostic than ever and populated by a new genera-tion of Millennial customers.
• Entrepreneurs will learn what makes impact investors tick andthe type of business approaches they typically invest in. Thisbook will provide entrepreneurs with insights into partneringand working with investors, and the other multilingual skillsand new approaches they should master (alongside impactinvestors) in order to be as effective as possible. Each of theimpact investing funds we feature is also entrepreneurial in itsown right. The lessons from the experience of these funds willbe invaluable for any innovative business leader.
• Community and social change agents will gain insights into howcapital can be used to drive social and environmental justice.The tools of finance are increasingly being appropriated tosupport community vehicles—nonprofits, businesses, cooper-atives, social enterprises, and any number of other structures—delivering job creation and opportunities for expandingemployment and development to those presently excludedfrom local and regional economies.
• For teachers and students of business, the book offers a rangeof new analytical frameworks for assessing the structure andrapid development of impact investing, created with the benefitof extensive primary data. These frameworks have broad busi-ness applications, and our research methods and approach todocumenting performance can be applied in most markets.The book also presents clear paths for continuing research andopportunities for further academic and thought leadership. Allstudents will benefit from understanding the operationalapproaches being applied by funds using cutting-edge financialinstruments in pioneering markets.
• For philanthropists, the book presents a comprehensive over-view of what it means to be “catalytic” by delivering amagnitude

of social value never before seen as an intentional outcome ofprivate investment. The book highlights the involvement of anumber of philanthropic leaders in the funds we researched,two of which are private foundations. The book will helpphilanthropists understand what it means to engage in impactinvesting, how to get started, and the kinds of approaches thatwill increase the probability of success.
• Public officials will recognize a range of private investmentstrategies in The Impact Investor that have already been utilized bypolicymakers to drive the delivery of social and environmentalimpacts at scale. The book describes an ideal form of public-private partnership and the steps needed, primarily on the partof impact investors, to actualize this heightened form of col-laboration. Public officials will see a powerful, evolving role forgovernment in the development of impact investing, and theopportunity to stretch limited resources in innovative new ways.As essential partners in impact investing, public officials willbenefit from the book’s broader insights into the future offinance and business and its relationship to diverse constituen-cies, a perspective already at the heart of government.
No book can be all things to all people. Readers should knowthat much of our data and real-life examples of CollaborativeCapitalism are drawn directly from impact investing funds. Therest is drawn from the broader literature and our personal expe-riences in the fields of impact, philanthropy, policy, and invest-ment. Two of us have been private impact investing fundmanagers,and two of us have been foundation executives making grants andprogram-related investments, a key form of impact investment.One of us has been a business and finance reporter; two of us havewritten guidebooks for practitioners that include models andframeworks that, more than a decade after they were published,continue to be widely used across the social enterprise and impactinvesting sectors. We have experience in successfully changing theway people think about and understand complex topics. Two of ushave been publishing and teaching on these topics for more thanfifteen years each. One of us coauthored the first book everpublished on the topic of impact investing; one of us was a publicofficial focused on economic development before advising the

largest pension fund in the United States on its impact assessmentpractice; and one of us helped create an emerging standard ratingsystem for impact investing funds worldwide.
A Focus on IntermediariesThrough these experiences, we initiated our major collaborativeresearch effort in 2011 with the strong belief that there is no betterunit of analysis than impact investing funds for understanding theway capitalism is changing.
Why? Because funds interact directly with hundreds of enter-prises and have ultimate responsibility for delivering the blendedperformance of financial as well as social and environmentalreturns on which the case for impact investing rests. They arethe proverbial canaries in the coal mine of the larger sphere ofCollaborative Capitalism. They are test beds and financial R&Dlabs, where in order to succeed, relationships and communicationmust be rock solid even while the work remains innovative.
Indeed, when impact investing funds succeed, many importantresults follow that may positively impact the development ofCollaborative Capitalism: investors increase their investment, rep-licable financial structures emerge for new pools of fund capital,entrepreneurs have clear guideposts of what to expect of invest-ment, and secondary markets more naturally emerge.
Finally, funds are also a crucible of accountability. As BobWebster has written about the Grassroots Business Fund, wherehe is chief operating officer, the formal fund structure provides a“clear and transparent picture of fund financial flows,” includingmanagement fees, legal costs, portfolio investments, investmentinterest, dividend, and principal reflows; “clear expectations forfinancial and social returns and any tradeoffs thereof”; and an“active seat at the governance table.” They also “can incentivize thefund manager through some type of carried interest in the fund’sperformance.”2
What’s Ahead?The Impact Investor is presented in three parts that examine how wegot here, the current state of the market and its emerging bestpractices, and future implications.
12 THE IMPACT INVESTOR
3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:28 Page 13
In part 1, “Key Practices and Drivers Underlying ImpactInvesting,” we describe the development and current state ofCollaborative Capitalism and impact investing.
Chapter 1, “Inside Collaborative Capitalism,” explores some of thebig-picture trends driving the shift from incidental to inten-tional impact, including the use of business approaches insolving social challenges, a growing awareness of environmen-tal and economic sustainability, and demand from a newgeneration of more responsible consumers and investors.
Chapter 2, “Raising the Curtain on Impact Investing,” provides acomprehensive overview of this fast-growing market, introduc-ing our twelve funds in detail, their performance, and themarket of which they are a part. We also provide a new estimateof the total size of the global impact investing market, drawingon key subsectors, and propose a new method for categorizingimpact investing funds.
In part 2, “Four Key Elements of Successful Impact Investing,”we analyze current practice and delineate the four key elementsof successful impact investing—and by extension CollaborativeCapitalism—and provide a range of tools for implementing thesepractices:
Chapter 3, “Impact DNA,” highlights successful funds’ coreapproach to impact investing: a process of establishing a clearlyembedded strategy and structure for achieving mission prior toinvestment, enabling a predominantly financial focus through-out the life of the investment. We call this approach “MissionFirst and Last.” Knowing early and explicitly that impact iscontained in a fund’s DNA allows all parties (investors, invest-ees, and the fund itself) to move forward with the investmentdiscipline akin to any other financial transaction, confidentthat any possibility of mission drift can be effectively managed.
Chapter 4, “Symbiosis as Strategy,” explores the ubiquitous role ofgovernment in impact investing, and the multidirectionalrelationships of trust and support that undergird effectivepublic-private partnership. By nature, impact investors repre-sent a marriage of public and private interests. They seamlessly
INTRODUCTION 13
3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:28 Page 14
integrate a commitment to improving public welfare with thepower and efficiency of capital markets. Policymakers—whohave a vested interest in maximizing the social and environ-mental well-being of their constituencies and hold massivepower to influence the market through laws and regula-tions—are natural partners for impact investors.
Chapter 5, “The New Deal,” focuses on the rigorous and creativestrategies impact investors use to meet the diverse returnobjectives of a range of capital providers. By bringing differenttypes of stakeholders to the table, cultivating “catalytic” inves-tors, and doing the hard work of financial structuring, impactinvestors are able to support markets that would not otherwisebe “investable,” providing access to capital in some of the mostunderserved places and sectors.
Chapter 6, “Multilingual Leadership,” discusses the inherentlycross-sector nature of impact investing and the diversity ofskillsets and strategic approaches needed if one is to succeed.Impact investors are expert at simultaneously seeing the worldthrough the eyes of philanthropy (the “theories of change”),government (market failure and subsidy), and finance (thebest use of capital; return on investment), which is a difficultbut essential approach to master in the era of CollaborativeCapitalism.
In part 3, “Looking Ahead: Trends and Challenges,” we take allthat we have learned and pose a simple question about the future.We claim that Collaborative Capitalism is on the march. What thenare the signs we should look for to indicate that CollaborativeCapitalism is storming the castle? What might still hold it back?
Chapter 7, “The Writing on the Wall” outlines ten trends to watchthat will signal the arrival of a broader practice of CollaborativeCapitalism on a range of investment and business activities,both mainstream and niche.
Chapter 8, “Concluding Reflections,” brings together the themesand explores seven challenges the field must face to success-fully bring forth this new vision.
14 THE IMPACT INVESTOR
3GCINTRO 07/28/2014 14:52:28 Page 15
Finally, we end with an “Impact Investor Resource Guide” thatbrings together all of the strategies and tools from chapters 3through 6. This is an easy reference for those eager to move quicklyto action.
Impact investing has been called a dark wood in which variousnew and exciting creatures bustle about and explore a new world ofinvesting and impact. The Impact Investor points to the pathsthrough the wood and confirms impact investors, social entrepre-neurs, pension fund fiduciaries, and a host of other actors actuallyknow a lot more about how to “do” impact investing than manyhave to this point believed. We do not have to wonder how impactinvesting may have the greatest impact—the fund managers andstrategies in this book document how leading funds execute theirstrategies for high performance. We do not have to ask, “How doesimpact investing differ from traditional, mainstream investing?”The investors profiled in the following pages show how impactinvesting is not altogether “new” or different, but rather an exten-sion of the fundamentals of sound investing practices. We do notneed to ask, “What will it take for impact investing to go main-stream?” The practices and diverse pool of investors described inthis book show that in fact impact investing has gone mainstreamand that it is only amatter of time before we are truly able to see thedepth and breadth of the adoption of impact investing practiceswithin those mainstream markets.
Every era is an era of change. We need only to lift our heads orclimb a nearby hill to gain a different perspective, to see thepossibility of the changes taking place within our community,region, or market. This book provides an overview of promisinginvestment themes and practices that portend a global economictransformation. The exponential growth of impact investing is wellunder way as we continue to see new ideas, strategies, and oppor-tunities brought from the fringe to the center of capital markets theworld over.
