Ron Cordes, co-founder of the Cordes Foundation, discusses his career in the investment industry, impact investing today, and his motivations for founding ImpactAssets.

"The impact investing space is still in its infancy, but several studies from JP Morgan and others have projected that it will grow over the next 5-10 years into a sizable market - which is consistent with all of the conversations I'm having today with leading players in the field. Like any new investment category it will take time for investors and the advisors who serve them to embrace this new opportunity - but I'm quite confident that a strong groundswell of interests exists from individuals and family foundations who are becoming increasingly aware of how they can connect their 'passions with their portfolios'."
