Domestic Impact Investing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By: Thalia Lankin &

Lesylee White, AFL-CIO HIT

Socially responsible investing is likely here to stay. According to The Forum for
Sustainable and Responsible Investment, the size of the sustainable, responsible,
impact investing market has grown from $4.8 trillion in 2012 to $8.1 trillion as
 of the end of 2016. This market now accounts for $1 out of every $5 invested by
 asset managers in the United States.
As this sector has evolved, the names, categories and labels remain variable, overlapping
and largely undefined. ESG. Socially responsible investing. Community investing.
 Impact investing. The host of ever-changing labels brings with them confusion and
an uncertainty as to what managers are promising to deliver and what impacts investors
are seeking to achieve. And there is little consensus as to how impacts are quantified
and reported. In addition, there is still a measure of hesitation by pension plan
consultants and trustees to recommend impact strategies due to concerns regarding
fiduciary responsibility to the pension plan.
However, two recent developments stand to change this. First, the Department of 
Labor issued guidance in 2015 acknowledging that environmental, social and governance
(ESG) "issues are not merely collateral considerations or tie-breakers, but rather
can be proper components" of investment choices, providing fiduciaries with new 
clarity. Second, there is increasing evidence that seeking social outputs does not
necessarily require a sacrifice in financial return, thus aligning impact investing
more directly with a fiduciary's traditional duty.
