Abstract

This chapter presented impact-oriented funds from many prospective: definition, mission, investment strategy, Investment strategy the literature, state of the industry, risks, challenges, drivers for success, and case studies. This overview permits a first investigation of lack of literature on impact funds. The definition of impact-funds mission and investment strategy are still ambiguous; thus, the chapter tries to adapt the OECDOrganization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (Social impact investment. Building the evidence base, Paris, 2015) definition of social impact investment to impact-oriented funds and provides a firsthand classification of impact-oriented funds split into three categories: commercialFund commercial impact-oriented funds, non-commercialFund non-commercial impact-oriented funds, and quasi-commercialFund quasi-commercial impact-oriented funds.
