2019 GIIN Annual Impact Investor Survey

The survey is open to organizations that have committed at least USD 10 million to impact investments or completed at least five impact investing transactions. Respondents are asked to provide information about their organization's impact investing objectives and activities, including the location of their headquarters and other regions where they have offices. The survey collects data on various aspects of impact investing, including the amount of capital raised and targeted for 2019, the types of investors and their percentage of total capital, and the drivers of client demand. Respondents are also asked about their experience with faith-based investors, including the percentage of assets managed from faith-based investors and the types of faith-based investors they have raised capital from. The survey also inquires about the challenges faced when raising capital from faith-based investors, including a lack of knowledge or familiarity with impact investing, and the target returns not being achievable or concerns about exit options/liquidity. Additionally, respondents are asked about the expected volume of growth from faith-based investors in impact investing over the next three years. The survey also collects data on the volume of capital invested and the number of transactions made since inception, as well as the volume of capital invested and the number of transactions planned for 2019. The data is collected by instrument, including deposits and cash equivalents, private debt, public debt, equity-like debt, private equity, public equity, and real assets. The GIIN will collect and analyze the data, and findings will be released in a report available to the public.
