Glossary Detail

Spectrum of capital

Describes the gradations of financial return vs impact that capital may look to achieve. Ranges from traditional investing, which solely looks to deliver financial return, to impact investing, which looks to achieve both financial return and impact – and, finally, philanthropy, which looks to achieve impact with no expectation of financial return.
