Increasing social impact investments in the UK

Editor News

A new independent review sets out how Government and the financial services industry can work together to build a culture of social impact investment in the UK.

Growing a Culture of Social Impact Investing in the UK outlines key recommendations to help grow the number of social impact investors across the country and ensure financial providers help people support the issues they care about through their savings and investment choices.

It urges the Government and industry to support co-investment and increase the number of social impact investment opportunities in the market; strengthen competence and confidence within the financial services sector and make it easier for people to invest.

The review also recommends that Government and the social sector should look to increase reporting of the growth of the social impact investment market to give the financial services community a better understanding of the non-financial outcomes.
