For those looking to do more than make money with their investments, impact investing could be just what they have been looking for. In particular, the younger generation is looking for ways their investment funds can help make a social or environmental difference in the world. This method of investing in socially responsible funds is often called impact investing.
A UBS Investor Watch survey noted that nearly two-thirds of young Americans were highly interested in sustainable investing. This means they are actively looking for socially responsible companies, such as those actively engaged in doing something good in the world or avoiding harmful activities.
Though impact investments can span several industries, including healthcare, renewable and clean energy, and education, the primary purpose of impact investing is that investments offer not just financial returns but also are in line with the investor’s conscience and values. Companies can take advantage of investor interest by making a financial commitment to more socially responsible investments.
Research can help you find a socially responsible company that meets your expectations. Impact investing could be an excellent way to use your finances to impact the world for the better.
