    January / February 2021 (Magazine)

While some of the scale and track record required by institutions was not available in the past, the slate of new initiatives shows just how much appetite there is. In this report, we also take a look at how impact investing is picking up momentum in the US and Australia, with investors playing a role in tackling affordability issues.
