Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to analyze impact funds mission and investment strategy in order to assess whether impact funds show the ‘basic features of impact investing.’ Moreover, this chapter assesses if there are dissimilarities between funds: (1) investing in developing and developed countries; (2) investing in social or environmental sectors; (3) differentiable according to the size parameter. In order to perform this analysis the OECD (Social impact investment. Building the evidence base. Paris, 2015) definition of impact investment has been employed as a ‘standard of minimum requirements’ that any impact investment should demonstrate. A content analysis methodology was applied to answer to the research questions.
