Benchmarking Impact - Australian Impact Investor Insights, Activity and Performance Report 2020

This report brings together, for the first time, two flagship pieces of research focused on the Australian impact investment market: 1. The 2020 Australian Impact Investment Survey – completed by 125 investors spanning a diverse range of investor types across Australia – probes the awareness of and interest in impact investing among investors not yet active in impact investing as well as the current motivations, intentions and perceived roadblocks to increased investment among Australian investors already engaged in impact investing. For the first time, it unpacks the impact measurement and management practices and challenges faced by active impact investors. 2. The 2020 Australian Impact Investment Activity and Performance study – collecting and aggregating data spanning 117 retail and wholesale impact investment products that were widely offered to Australian investors during the study period (1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019) – measures how the Australian impact investment market size, activity and performance are changing over time.
