In recent years, the impact investing industry has captured imaginations with its market-oriented, innovative approaches to addressing the world's most intractable social and environmental challenges. Just over a decade removed from the coining of the phrase "impact investing", it is now estimated that the industry manages $150 billion in assets and that this figure will grow to $300 billion by 2020. The industry has steered capital to countless social interventions and mission-oriented organizations.
