Impact investing assets under management reach $1.8 trillion

A biannual industry survey reports two years of growth in the asset class, according to ImpactAlpha.

At a glance

  1. The $1.8 trillion total reflects growth over the past two years, which ImpactAlpha's account of the biannual survey describes as a surprise: impact investing grew rather than retreated over that stretch.
  2. For advisors, $1.8 trillion is a survey-derived industry total, not a fund-level figure, so it sizes the market rather than any single client holding.
  3. Which vehicles the survey counts as impact assets is the definitional question that decides what the number can be compared to.
