This blog should come as no surprise, as it takes money to make money. Competition in today's world is fierce. Thus, investors are looking for investments that will have a social and environmental impact alongside a financial return, which is defined as an impact investment. The author, Michael Finnigan, bases this article on the on a survey, "Released by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) and JP Morgan, the sixth annual Impact Investor Survey" and a research study conducted by Campden Research, in partnership with Credit Suisse, which is a report based on a survey of 158 separate impact investing organizations.

Finnigan compiles information from the reports to present how family offices are driving interest in impact investments.
