Impact Investing Tackling the World's Most Challenging Problems
This industry has shown strength and continuity against shifting political headwinds throughout its 15-year history. Since the GIIN began sizing the impact investing market, it has grown steadily from $501 billion in 2019 to $1.571 trillion in 2024, spanning both the Trump and Biden administrations in the U.S. and many leadership transitions in other countries. This politically agnostic growth occurs because the momentum of impact investing has not been driven by government initiatives but by investors responding to opportunities in the market.
The ideas that underpin impact investing are not controversial. Creating quality jobs, lowering the cost of living, providing access to healthcare, building affordable housing, supporting the farmers that feed us, and protecting our lands and oceans are goals that are broadly supported around the world.
People understand that government solutions alone are insufficient to solve the big problems that affect their lives. This is why impact investing exists — to make capital markets work for people and the planet and to open a private sector channel to solve the enormous global challenges. That survey also showed that around the world, the vast majority of retail investors — those who own or invest in markets but also beneficiaries of retirement schemes — support action by investment funds on issues from climate change to economic inequality.
