Position paper published: “Impact Investing in Alternative Investments – Why private market investments are particularly suited for impact-generating investments”

Over the past few months, Advanced Impact Research (AIR) and numerous representatives of the Bundesverband Alternative Investments e.V. (BAI) and the Bundesinitiative Impact Investing e.V. (BIII) have developed the position paper “Impact Investing in Alternative Investments – why private market investments are particularly suited for impact-generating investments”.

The position paper begins by taking stock of key market concepts and terminology and outlines the main characteristics of impact investments. It also discusses the types of impact products and, in a main section, the relationship between impact investments and regulation and sustainable investments in accordance with Art. 2 (17) SFDR. We hope that this position paper will provide a basis and a starting point for discussion with investors and internal departments.
