Impact Investing has the potential to become a powerful force when addressing global challenges. Emerging as a hybrid of philanthropy and private equity, a growing group of investors around the world is seeking to make investments that will generate social and environmental value as well as a return on capital — and sometimes a rather large return.

Camilla Seth, Director of Programs and Operations at GIIN (Rockefeller Foundation) recently stated that for impact investing, "the tipping point is now".

- Are you taking advantage of this emerging opportunity?
- Are you interested but worried about the risk and sceptical about the returns?
- Are you looking for a real alternative to diversify your investment portfolio?
