IA 50 selections are made by the distinguished IA 50 Review Committee, composed of 16 of the most globally-recognized impact investing leaders and practitioners, ensuring that the IA 50 remains the industry’s most credible, thoughtfully curated benchmark for impact investing excellence. The review process includes a quantitative analysis, led by ImpactAssets Capital Partners, based on application information, impact reports and public disclosures. The IA 50 Review Committee makes the final selection, ensuring the analysis adheres to a structured framework of fairness and rigor. All firms included in the IA 50 have met strict criteria, including a track record in impact investing, clear social and environmental impact goals, and U.S. investor accessibility.
“The IA 50 not only reflects where impact investing is today, but also provides a roadmap for its future,” said Rehana Nathoo, Founder and CEO at Spectrum Impact and an IA 50 Review Committee Member. “The rigorous selection process and expert review that define the IA 50 reinforce its position as the industry’s gold standard – giving investors confidence that the firms featured are at the forefront of driving meaningful impact.”
