Using Impact Measurement Tools for Portfolio Construction in Private Markets, for a Portfolio with Dual Impact and Financial Goals

Sustainable investing in more than using ESG factors in investments. It is increasingly about making an impact also with the investment. Endowments, foundations, and many other investors want to create portfolios to reach both financial and impact goals. I am delighted to have worked with The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) in writing this thought piece on how to use IRIS+ impact measurement tools in the portfolio strategy process when building an impact portfolio in private markets, enhancing the ability to achieve both their impact and financial goals.
