Nine years ago, a group of investors committed to move 100% of the assets of at least one seven-, eight-, or nine-digit portfolio to impact investments. Toniic conducted a study of 100+ of those portfolios, drawing from 1,600 impact investments. Here's a preview. impactalpha.com/investors-wi...

EV frontman Elon Musk may be the face of MAGA, but Trump's EPA is seeking to destroy the US “green bank,” which is already financing cost-cutting energy and transportation upgrades for communities across the US. @climateunited.bsky.social is fighting back. impactalpha.com/climate-unit...

@climateunited.bsky.social Retracting authorized funds already dispersed to the private sector is illegal. Any person, org or entity who "justify" the legality of retracting GGRF funds is corrupt. What will it take to get banks and corps. to STAND UP AND PUSH BACK? impactalpha.com/trumps-epa-t...

Love this. @tanaytatum.bsky.social is out with another good analysis following the money to identify mispriced risk for investors.

📈 Endowments at US colleges/universities are increasingly adopting impact investment strategies Roughly 10% of the endowments at more than 650 US higher ed institutions report implementing impact investing strategies – up 21% over last year, according to NACUBO www.nacubo.org/Press-Releas...

💡Remember when some corporations and asset managers were so eager to exaggerate their environmental or social impact that “greenwashing” threatened to tarnish even legitimate efforts? Fast forward to 2025, and the wash cycle is spinning in the other direction. impactalpha.com/the-week-in-...

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Opportunity Zone investors fully expect OZs 2.0 More from @roodgally.bsky.social on @impactalpha.com impactalpha.com/investors-lo...

Opportunity Zones represent a chance for bipartisan cooperation. The program has mobilized as much as $84 billion from private equity investors looking for capital gains tax relief in exchange for investments in nearly 9,000 designated low-income census tracts. impactalpha.com/investors-lo...

Remember that time when the President commissioned a study of refugee economic impact on the U.S. and then tried to bury it after finding the net contribution was billions of $ in paid taxes and jobs created? Let’s revisit this little chestnut… #facts #refugees www.nytimes.com/2017/09/18/u...

We pored through the raft of Trump executive orders so you don’t have to (but probably should!) (Sidenote: the DFC asked us to remove their job listings from @impactalpha.com's job board to comply with the Trump's hiring freeze order.) What we're watching: impactalpha.com/trumps-execu...

This week, I am more appreciative than ever of @bsky.app - and I want to make sure it doesn't go the way of other platforms. I wrote this piece on @impactalpha.bsky.social about how the company can preserve its user-centric approach over time. Would love other ideas so we can preserve this space!

This piece from @mbranden.bsky.social! impactalpha.com/plea-from-a-...

@bsky.app's incorporation as a 'public benefit corporation' is a good start, @mbranden.bsky.social writes in @impactalpha.com. But the structure "should be the beginning rather than the end of its journey as a mission-driven company," she says. impactalpha.com/plea-from-a-...

Major corporations are jockeying to avoid growing reputational and legal risks; some are defending the business case for investing in inclusion and managing climate risks.

Now, it’s large, publicly traded companies with thousands of investors and millions of customers that are in the bullseye of attacks on proactive investing in climate and diversity. More on impactalpha.com: impactalpha.com/public-compa...
