Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Happy New Year! Start 2012 with a recap of the GIIN's latest publications Insight into the Impact Investment Market, released by J.P. Morgan and the GIIN, finds that the majority of the 52 surveyed impact investors express tempered optimism about the impact investing industry: they believe it is “in its infancy and growing.” The investors plan to invest almost USD 4 billion over the next year, and most expect that 5-10 percent of portfolios will be allocated to impact investments in ten years.    Read the press release > Download the full report > Impact-Based Incentive Structures: Aligning Fund Manager Compensation with Social and Environmental Performance explores an emerging topic in the impact investing industry. The issue brief draws upon examples from Aureos Capital's Africa Health Fund, Core Innovation Capital, and UBS to outline key considerations for designing financial incentives tied to social and environmental performance.
