Scaling new heights: how faith-based investing can reach its potential

In this Pioneers Post article, the first in a series in partnership with the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), Iqbal Khan, CEO of Fajr Capital, reflects on how far faith-based investing has come. Speaking to the evolution of the faith-based investment community, Khan highlights the importance of faith groups joining forces to collaborate and allocate capital. Khan writes, “The Global Impact Investing Network’s Faith-Based Investors Hub, for example, is a unique platform for action that brings together investors from Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions to explore how faith-based investors can collaborate to deepen the impact potential of their investment portfolios and advance global development agendas, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Climate Agreement.”
