Abstract

Impact investing was a generally adopted investment strategy that not only aimed to gain financial returns from investment but also attempted to create positive and measurable social or environmental impacts through the investments being made. Investors who followed the impact investing strategy would take into consideration the company’s commitment and engagement in social and environmental responsibility. Impact investing strategy challenged the return-based investment strategy, with observations that many institutional investors, including banks, capital funds and public holding finance companies, were entering the impact investing market. However, whether and to what extent investors were willing to trade their pecuniary gains for the positive social or environmental impacts remained to be explored.
