This article provides coverage of key findings from a new survey by Cambridge Associates, which demonstrates how an interest in mission related investing (MRI) is growing. More specifically, this piece demonstrates that “Mission-related investing (MRI) is gaining strong momentum among non-profit institutional investors, with 31% (of those surveyed) making investments aligned with environment and climate change, healthcare, housing, job creation, and education.” The article also includes commentary about barriers to enter the market, and references the GIIN and Cambridge Associates Impact Investing Benchmark study when mentioning financial performance data.
