Only 2% of global ‘impact assets’ within the GIIN’s estimated US$1.164 trillion global impact investing market are held in Oceania. This, alongside the nascency of the Australian market, means there is a relative scarcity of diverse impact investing ‘products’ or ‘instruments’ available in Australia. Earlier this year, PRF undertook a study to assess the appropriateness of impact investing instruments for delivering impact within the Australian market. The project, working in partnership with Investing for Good CIC, combined a review of existing global research as well as primary research with interviews with leading impact investors and a sample of for purpose organisations (FPO). The resulting report includes detailed case studies of 20 global innovative impact investment instruments, as well as recommendations of how we might work with others to make available more appropriate forms of impact capital for FPOS.
