Growing range of private investment opportunities cements the firm’s undisputed leadership role in the impact investing field.

Press Release – January 29, 2025 – NEW YORK – ImpactAssets, the impact investing leader with a 15-year track record of mobilizing capital for good, concluded an impressive 2024 with 270 impact investments totaling $387.5 million — an investment sum that maintains the firm’s status as one of the most active impact investors worldwide. ImpactAssets’ work spanned critical areas of need, including climate and social equity, furthering the organization’s mission to address existential challenges facing the planet and its most vulnerable communities.

“Our 2024 results reaffirm ImpactAssets’ role as a leader in driving significant capital toward the world’s most urgent challenges, in line with the continued growth of the impact investing market,” said Margret Trilli, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of ImpactAssets. “Together with our clients, we mobilized nearly $400 million in a single year to fund impact investments across asset classes and impact themes — from climate change solutions to reducing systemic inequities. We see this thoughtful, high-volume investment activity as both a catalyst for transformative impact today and a signal of what’s possible for the impact investing industry of tomorrow.”

As ImpactAssets continues to expand its emphasis on financing climate solutions, the firm deployed more than $125 million to climate investments in 2024, according to its year-end estimates. This allocation included 100+ targeted investments aimed at accelerating the energy transition and other climate solutions, including building resilience against the escalating climate crisis. The investments range across asset classes from private debt to private equity to real assets, reflecting the organization’s ability to leverage a variety of structures to address the root causes of social and environmental challenges and enable systems-level change.

Additional 2024 highlights include:

• Growing Private Investment Portfolio: ImpactAssets active portfolio of private impact investments grew to 1,200 investments at the end of 2024. The portfolio includes investments in funds and companies, both domestic and international; the asset classes range from private equity to private debt and private credit to project finance and more. This breadth of impact investment opportunities supports the firm’s place as an undisputed leader in the impact investing field.
• Delivering on the Energy Transition: More than one-third of ImpactAssets’ 2024 investments target climate solutions. The firm’s work included financing for community-based clean energy, such as Sunwealth Solar Justice Fund, which develops high-performance solar projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities – expanding access to clean energy and advancing local workforce development.
• Expanding Equality & Access: Over half of the dollars invested explicitly focused on equitable access and financial inclusion including investments like HOPE, a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that works to meet the financial needs of individuals and families in the Deep South of the United States.

2024 also saw the growth of three recently launched thematic impact funds – available through the ImpactAssets Donor Advised Fund – focused on addressing climate solutions, financial inclusion, and equitable access to health and wellness, education and more. The funds collectively deployed $70 million in their first year, a testament to the growing demand for a deeply focused but diversified approach to some of our most urgent issues.

“Partnership and collaboration are essential to addressing the complex, interwoven challenges of our time,” said Dana Cotter, Managing Director of Impact. “In 2024, we worked alongside visionary clients, fund managers, entrepreneurs, and other leaders to drive bold outcomes. By mobilizing private and philanthropic capital, we continue to prove that impact investing — in all its forms — can drive powerful change and progress for people and the planet.”
