Toniic is a leading impact investing network serving individuals, family offices, foundations and funds that seeks to increase the flow of impact-oriented capital and services to address global challenges, including an emerging interest in the development of an investment framework for the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Toniic believes that one of the primary reasons investors stay on the sidelines is the lack of compelling quantitative and qualitative data points and case studies that both illustrate the viability of impact investing and demonstrate the business case for the development of impact investing products and services. Researchers lack data-sets to assess questions like how impact risk and impact return is related to financial risk and financial return. The proposed grant contributes to addressing these issues through support for the T100 project – a longitudinal study of the investing experience of Toniic’s 100% Impact Network members using impact portfolio tools, directories, case studies and reports. This project is well-positioned to yield widely accessible longitudinal data on the preferences and behaviors of a group of investors, many of whom are providing catalytic capital.
