On October 8th 2015, as members of the impact investing and social entrepreneurship field gathered for the SOCAP event Wharton Social Impact initiative used the opportunity to launch their first-ever report on the financial performance of impact investing. The report, titled Great Expectations: Mission Preservation and Financial Performance in Impact Investing suggests that investors may not need to expect lesser returns as a tradeoff for social impact. The result of two years rigorous research, the report looks at successful exits from impact investment funds in order to examine the balance between financial returns and mission preservation.
