\"Calvert<\/a>Calvert Impact has released\u00a0<\/span>\u201cImpact Investing: A Short Guide for Financial Advisors\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to help advisors understand the important opportunity impact investing represents for their clients and their practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the impact investing market has more than doubled to over $1 trillion in recent years according to the Global Impact Investing Network, and demand from both individual and institutional investors is growing, the guide aims to address that many financial advisors have not incorporated impact investment options into their conversations or practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Guide focuses on impact investments that intend to create positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside financial returns. Investors have a range of options based on the geographic and impact sectors they care about \u2013 from affordable housing and community development in the U.S., to supporting job creation and environmental solutions in low-income communities around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These all represent an opportunity for advisors to talk with their clients about what really matters to them and the world they want to see, and then discuss some options that could be more meaningful to client portfolios and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe consistently hear from investors that their financial advisors aren\u2019t helping or talking with them about impact investing,\u201d<\/span><\/i> said Anna Mabrey, Director of Investor Relations at Calvert Impact. <\/span>\u201cWe also hear from advisors that they just aren\u2019t aware of the impact opportunities they have access to at their firms or how to have the conversation with clients. We want to help bridge this gap so that advisors can deepen client relationships and advance their practice.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

While most impact investments are in private markets, there are more public options accessible to investors of all types and almost all financial firms. There are also important performance and risk considerations, both financial and impact, that advisors can really help their clients with.<\/span><\/p>\n
