The facts
More and more investors are no longer just looking for returns on their investments. They also want to make a positive contribution to society with their wealth .
Against this backdrop, impact investing has become increasingly important in recent years. The aim is to achieve measurable, positive social and ecological effects through the long-term provision of capital.
Impact investing adds the crucial dimension of "effect" - or "impact" - to traditional investments.
For a better world
Impact investments cover a wide range of topics. In the vast majority of cases, they are aligned with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this way, impact investments help to provide targeted support for global challenges such as the fight against global warming and climate change, poverty and inequality and to bring about demonstrable positive change.
Attractive return and positive contribution
One reason for the growing importance of impact investments is also their potential for appealing returnsReturns and impact are not contradictory in impact investing. They are mutually dependent and mutually reinforcing. According to surveys, impact investors achieve standard market private equity returns (gross IRR: 16% p.a. in industrialized countries, 18% p.a. in developing countries). Even investors with lower expected returns still achieve gross IRRs of 10% p.a. (industrialized countries) and 11% p.a. (developing countries).1
Excellence in impact investing
Unlike in the USA or other European countries such as Scandinavia, France or the Netherlands, where impact investing has been a well-known form of investing for some time, it is still in its infancy in Germany and therefore has considerable catch-up potential. With FINVIA, you have access to reputable providers in the fast-growing field of impact investing and can thus actively contribute to the transformation of our society towards a sustainable economy by investing in disruptive technologies and business models.
