PRAISE FOR GLOBAL HANDBOOK OF IMPACT INVESTING "Impact investing is a new opportunity to combine forces of private capital and public policy objectives. This Global Handbook of Impact Investing offers information and inspiration for using these tested but still relatively new financial instruments for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)." —Hon. Jyrki Katainen, MSc, President, Finnish Innovation Fund SITRA; former European Commission's Vice-President for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness; former Prime Minister of Finland "If we truly want a more sustainable, more inclusive world, we must change the way we invest our money. This book helps move us toward a future in which every investment decision considers impact alongside profit. Money can do so much more than just make more money, and the problems of our world are far too urgent for our capital to underperform." —Amit Bouri, MBA, MPA, Co-founder and CEO, Global Impact Investing Network "The world of investing needs to evolve our values and priorities towards more interdependence so that economic growth will support and transform, instead of jeopardize, equitable human development for all 7 billion of us. This global handbook contains ideas, innovations, and pathways towards a better world for all of us via our portfolios." —Annie Chen, JD, Founder and Chair, RS Investment Group, Hong Kong "This book explains why and how impact investors are achieving leaps of profitability and impact, providing a suite of strategies and solutions for investors who understand that the world of finance has changed. We have the immense opportunity to improve the lives of millions while pursuing stronger financial returns." —Dr. Andrew Kuper, Founder and CEO, LeapFrog Capital; Board Member, Emerging Markets Private Equity Association (EMPEA) "This global handbook breathes life into a vision for a future that can be financially prosperous—as well as provide access to good health, clean water, and a sustainable environment." —Rosemary Addis, AM, Impact Strategist; Ambassador, Global Steering Group for Impact Investment; Senior Strategic Adviser, UNDP "Financial capitalism needs a second life, and that life is called impact investing. This book is thus a powerful resource for anyone interested in exploring and understanding the brave new world of impact investing." —Dr. Filipe Santos, Chaired Professor of Social Entrepreneurship; Dean, Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics; Board Member and former Chair, European Venture Philanthropy Association
