18 Impact Investing Trends You Haven’t Seen Before and 1 You Have

A New Tax Break for Impact Investing Has Arrived

Sustainable investing is at once intuitive and confusing; it seems like the right thing to do, but there are many different ways to do it. It promises a contribution to solving global issues, but perhaps at the expense of investment returns. It represents new risks, opportunities, and ways of doing business in a rapidly changing world of finite resources.
