The GIIN estimates that over 3,907 organizations currently manage $1.571 trillion USD in impact investing assets under management (AUM) worldwide, representing 21% compound annual growth (CAGR) of the total impact investing market since 2019. This year’s report, Sizing the Impact Investing Market 2024, marks the first time the GIIN has been able to calculate a CAGR for the size of the impact investing market.

To calculate these figures, the GIIN research team built a comprehensive database of direct impact AUM managed by thousands of impact investing organizations. From this database, they cleared duplicates and indirect investments, and, where necessary, sampled the data to make additional estimates in order to reach a well-informed estimate of the total size of the impact investing market. 

This report also contains insights into the main capital influencers on the impact investing market, statistics on impact portfolio sizes and snapshots into regional and related efforts in sizing the impact investing market. The full report also includes deeper insights into the research methodology and a list of organizations who contributed data to further this report.

The findings of this market sizing research underscore the accelerating momentum behind the impact investing industry. In 2024, impact investing is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum as the urgency for action on social and environmental problems is mounting. The current pace of capital allocation towards the SDGs is far from sufficient to mitigate the worst effects of climate change and global inequality, but we can reverse this trend by engaging more investors, more capital and working together in new ways.
