Posi­ti­on paper #04 / Impact Inves­t­ing in Alter­na­ti­ve Invest­ments – Why pri­va­te mar­ket invest­ments are par­ti­cu­lar­ly sui­ted for impact-gene­ra­ting investments

This paper dis­cus­ses why alter­na­ti­ve invest­ments via pri­va­te mar­kets are espe­ci­al­ly well equip­ped to gene­ra­te impact com­pared to public mar­ket invest­ments due to their direct influence on assets, e.g. through ope­ra­tio­nal con­trol, or through their direct finan­cing in less effi­ci­ent capi­tal mar­kets. It also shows why they can make a signi­fi­cant con­tri­bu­ti­on to sol­ving glo­bal chal­lenges by suc­cessful­ly imple­men­ting impact gene­ra­ting investments.
