In Impact AIFs, the ‘social return’ is as important as the financial return. But how do you measure it? These funds use metrics like IRIS+ or GIIN standards to quantify impactÑe.g., “tons of CO2 saved” or “number of rural women employed.”
This accountability ensures that “Impact” isn’t just a marketing tag. It creates a dual bottom line. For the conscious investor, these metrics provide the proof that their capital is doing good while doing well.
