The impact investing sector has arrived in the mainstream. Major financial services institutions have entered the field, and size estimates of the sector range from $715 billion to $2.3 trillion. While much has been achieved so far, numerous opportunities to deliver impact still fail to attract investment.
FSG partnered with Courageous Capital Advisors and the Catalytic Capital Consortium (C3) to develop a series of guidance notes for both new and experienced catalytic capital investors. Guidance notes 2 and 3 will be published later in 2022.
Top Takeaways
- Catalytic capital is needed to ensure that impact investing pushes farther, harder, and faster to reach the full range of solutions that can build a more equitable and sustainable future.
- Innovative strategies are pushing into new areas because they represent an opportunity to enable impact that otherwise would not be achieved.
- Catalytic capital often moves too slowly and fails to seize opportunities with the urgency and decisiveness needed to address the pressing issues of our day.
