Private Banks Massively Increase Impact Fund Offerings

In this article, Sonia Talati provides a look at how the global market for impact investing is expanding and, specifically, how private banks are increasing impact fund offerings. Talati references figures from Calvert Foundation about the growth of the industry in recent years, and draws on examples of large impact funds such as Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund, (which has $305 million assets under management in the US and $4.6 billion globally) as the type of impact fund private banks such as U.S. Trust like to see. She also includes data from the GIIN Annual Impact Investor Survey, sharing a table that shows the importance of various factors in evaluating fund managers/GPs.
