As impact performance becomes a powerful differentiator and a meaningful new dimension of overall performance for all types of investing, understanding the current trends in the impact investing market becomes crucial to take part in this new type of race within the investment marketplace.
With its latest Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) Survey published in January 2020, the GIIN provides a comprehensive overview of the current impact investing market .
The report take a look into how investors describe their objectives, motivations and strategies for understanding and improving their impact, and the processes for holding themselves and their investees accountable, along with the other elements of their IMM practices.

Key Findings
1. While impact investors pursue diverse impact objectives, they universally agree on the importance of measuring and managing impact results.

3. As the market grows and matures, impact investors increasingly demand insight into impact performance.
4. Impact measurement and management incurs some costs, but it also generates financial benefits.
