Social Impact ,further investment grows.

Hi everyone,

The social impact funds are beginning to attract large amounts of investment from institutions and private finance.
Without this type of finance social impact would crawl.Although it is a fairly new type of finance it is attracting serious interest.
I do expect this to now start it to move forward fast.It is necessary that serious money comes forward to be involved in social impact projects that will benefit society in general.
I do however think that more needs to be done to inform society that this is developing and growing so that social impact is  not kept hidden and small.
The latest investor is Axa Group the insurance company although Goldman Sachs is developing a large investment side in social impact funds.
The projects that are available for social impact investing is getting bigger by the day but a return is required on the investment both in social returns and financial returns.And the two returns have to be balanced.

New year new direction.

Hi everyone I hope you are all well at the start of 2014.

The world is in flux and changing fast.  Destabilisation  in parts of the world lets hope settles down soon.

In the developed world attitudes are changing fast now and social impact decisions make are being considered at all levels in more and more companies.

Social impact really is only new in the fact it is in the open forum now.There are some of us that have considered what effect our decisions make for a long time.

It is now entering main stream and anyone who does not have this consideration in their commercial  or main decisions will find many problems ahead as society now requires this thought pattern.

Social impact has to considered in near term as well as long term decisions so that successful companies survive and prosper.

There is a growing acceptance within the public arena that decisions which disregard local and national opinions will not be put up with.

Changes are ahead as more of the younger generation take an interest in what goes on in their local area.This will result in the cosy attitude that is operated by some to  start to disappear.This can only be good for the U.K.

Well keep well and invest in life.It can only make it better.
