Is it really possible to achieve important social outcomes while generating investment returns?
At SIINSA we believe it is!
Like others around Australia and across the globe, we are developing a whole new investment community and we are inviting others to join with us in promoting social finance instruments as one way of providing resources and energy to attack some of our most “wicked” problems.
What is Social Impact Investment?
Social impact investment is an approach to using investment funds that delivers social dividends and economic returns. It covers a wide spectrum of activity ranging from loans on favourable terms through to private-public partnerships and social impact bonds.
Government
Social Impact investment is a way to increase the supply of capital for initiatives that have a social aim. The government can play different roles like designing policies, building markets, capabilities and shifting grants structure into outcome-based one.
Non-for-profits
Social impact investment is an alternative way of funding social programs typically delivered by not-for-profit. NFPs or NGOs must demonstrate impact and prepare a sustainable service delivery/business model to attract this type of funding.
Companies
Social impact investment is a way to establish a social business strategy within a company; and also a way for a company to invest on socially conscious projects.
Investors
Social impact investment is a way to diversify portfolios for investors (individuals or wealth manager) who are interested in combining a financial return and social or environmental impact.
