CGAP Newsflash: Impact Investing and Microfinance The more than 300 impact investments funds around the world are attracting a diverse set of players with varying expectations regarding financial, social and environmental returns. The latest J.P. Morgan and Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) survey showed that impact investors committed $8 billion in 2012, an increase from $2.5 billion in 2010. A new CGAP brief, Where do Impact Investing and Microfinance Meet?, quantifies the size and composition of the impact investing sector for developing countries. The brief shows that microfinance makes up close to three-fourths of total impact investing assets under management ($6.4 billion) focused on developing countries. Small and medium enterprise finance follows with a 14.6% share. The brief also notes three primary challenges facing the sector: systematically tracking social impact, setting sustainable expectations for development impact, and building the necessary capacity building infrastructure.
