Making an impact is a noble goal for any investor, whether they\u2019re retail or institutional. Impact investing is the practice of investing not only to generate returns, but also social and environmental benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The space has grown tremendously, with impact investing funds amassing over <\/span>$77 billion<\/span><\/a> in assets under management. From an individual\u2019s standpoint, that number seems enormous, but it\u2019s helpful to put it into perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>a Stanford Social Innovation Review article<\/span><\/a>, achieving the United Nation\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 requires spending <\/span>$5 to $7 trillion<\/span><\/i> annually. For impact investing to have serious impact then, it needs seriously greater adoption, especially among Main Street investors, who typically haven\u2019t had access to a variety of investment opportunities due to their exclusivity, geographic restrictions, and high investment minimums.<\/span>
