What are the key areas of Impact investing in 2023?
Impact investing is an investment strategy that seeks to generate social and environmental benefits in addition to financial returns. It is an investment strategy where investors seek to generate market-rate returns while also generating positive social or environmental impact. The goal is to invest in businesses and projects that create a positive impact on society. Impact investing usually focuses on investments in areas such as renewable energy, affordable housing, education, healthcare, and sustainable agriculture. But it is not limited to these areas alone.
Impact investing has the intention to create a positive social and environmental impact while generating financial returns. It is an increasingly popular form of investing that is being adopted by both individuals, institutions and family offices. Impact investing can be used to fund a variety of causes such as renewable energy, affordable housing, sustainable agriculture, and education. All of these are in the Rodller Impact Fund mandate. Our mandated Investors provide a way to use capital to create positive social and environmental change without losing sight on financial return. Impact investing also provides an opportunity to invest in companies that drive much needed innovation in terms of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Investing in these Startups, will help drive positive change within the global economy. Rodller is determined to support this process.
Impact Investing comes in many different ways, but in this Rodller Blog we focus on 5 main Impact Investing processes.
1. Renewable Energy
With the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, impact investing in renewable energy is likely to grow in 2023. We cover here investments in solar, wind, and other clean energy sources. The future of renewable energy looks very promising and is in some way obvious. With increased investment, technological advancements, and widespread public acceptance, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower are becoming more viable alternatives to traditional energy sources. In some countries is it has already become the commodity source of energy. The cost of renewable energy is dropping, making it more accessible and attractive for consumers and businesses. Governments are also providing incentives for the development and deployment of renewable energy. It is expected that in the coming years, renewable energy will account for a larger share of the global energy mix. Rodller is currently supporting multiple Startups in the renewable energy sector.
2. Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is becoming increasingly important as the world population grows and the demand for food increases. Impact investors are likely to continue to increase their investments in sustainable agriculture initiatives in 2023. The future of Sustainable Agriculture is positive, but not as established as renewable energy for example. As the global population continues to expand and resources become increasingly scarce, sustainable agriculture will be perceived by investors as more important in providing food, fuel, and other resources in an environmentally responsible way. Rodller actively is sourcing Startups in new technologies, such as advanced irrigation systems, aquaponics, vertical farming, and precision agriculture. As a matter of fact, Rodller has one Vertical Farming Startup in its Fund raise support process, in Singapore. Slowly, sustainable methods of production, such as regenerative agriculture, are gaining traction as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil health. The future of sustainable agriculture is likely to involve greater use of organic and biodynamic agriculture, and greater attention to the ethical treatment of animals, soil, and water. With the right innovations and commitments from farmers, businesses, and governments, sustainable agriculture will continue to be a major force in protecting the environment and providing food security for generations to come. Rodller will help point Capital to these Startups, so they can thrive.
3. Affordable Housing
Impact investors are likely to continue to invest in affordable housing initiatives to help address the growing need for housing in many communities. The future of affordable housing is likely to involve continued efforts to improve the availability and quality of housing for those with lower incomes. This could include a combination of public and private initiatives to increase the supply of affordable housing, such as government subsidies, tax credits, and zoning laws. Organizations and individuals can work to advocate for policies that support and protect renters’ rights, ensure safe and liveable conditions in all housing, and provide access to services like transportation and childcare. Rodller sourced Startups that support strategies that include expanding access to credit and home ownership, promoting green and sustainable housing.
4. Education
Attracting top talent is essential for any organization, and investing in impact startups is a great way to do this. Impact startups are companies that strive to make a positive social, environmental, or economic impact on the world. By investing in these businesses, your company can show potential employees that it cares about the world and is committed to making a difference. Also, investing in impact startups can open access to networks of top talent and create opportunities for collaboration, which can further improve your chances of attracting and hiring great employees.
5. Healthcare
Healthcare impact investing will to continue to grow in 2023. It has to. Impact investors need to invest in initiatives that focus on providing better access to quality healthcare in underserved communities. With the increasing awareness of social and environmental issues, more and more investors are becoming interested in investing in healthcare-related companies and organizations that are making a positive impact in the lives of people. This trend is expected to continue and grow as the world continues to face a variety of health-related issues such as the rise of chronic diseases, global poverty, and environmental degradation. Impact investing in healthcare is expected to focus on a number of areas such as improving access to healthcare services and medicines, tackling preventable diseases, and supporting research into new treatments and therapies. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that these investments will be directed towards companies and organizations developing innovative solutions to improve health outcomes. Rodller is currently supporting a Series D round for a Healthcare related firm.
