Investments targeting financial inclusion can play an instrumental role in driving progress across various key performance indicators, which can in turn be compared to the pace needed to achieve corresponding SDG-aligned targets. This brief contextualizes the pace of change associated with impact investments to inform investors where capital is urgently needed, and which regions require more effectively allocated capital to address acute need.
This brief explores investment-level, annualized impact performance data contributed by investors to the IRIS+ financial services impact performance benchmark. The financial services impact performance benchmark is a new, first-of-its-kind tool that enables investors to analyze their impact performance, and to compare their own impact results relative to their peers across the market and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
