RSF Selected for the ImpactAssets 50 2014
RSF has been selected for the ImpactAssets 50 2014, a free, online resource for impact investors and their advisors. The IA 50, now in its fourth year, is the first publically available database of private debt and equity impact investment fund managers.
This is the fourth consecutive year that RSF has been selected among other industry leaders for the IA 50, which serves as a gateway for those interested in achieving social and/or environmental, as well as financial, returns on their investments.
“We are thrilled to be selected on a recurring basis for the IA 50,” said Catherine Covington, Client Development Manager for RSF. “This list is very beneficial to the impact investing industry, and I often refer individuals and institutions who are interested in learning more about specific investing options to the IA 50 website.”
The $100 million RSF Social Investment Fund (SIF) provides financing to over 90 businesses working in Food & Agriculture, Education & the Arts, and Ecological Stewardship. This capital comes primarily from 1,600 individuals who have invested $1,000 or more in SIF. Investors earn a competitive return on their money comparable to a certificate of deposit while their funds are deployed to leading social enterprises.
The IA 50 is the only free, public, searchable database of outstanding impact investing fund managers. The showcase includes a range of funds across the globe, spanning diverse issue areas and investment, with demonstrated and compelling social and environmental impact. Fund managers included in the IA 50 2014 manage a combined $15.5 billion in assets devoted to creating measurable, positive impact.
The IA 50 selection committee is chaired by ImpactAssets’ Chief Impact Strategist, Jed Emerson, and includes experts from The CAPROCK Group, Labrador Ventures, Toniic, UBS, and other leading impact investors. The IA 50 2014, along with additional details on the selection process, are available at: http://www.impactassets.org/impactassets-50/review-and-criteria.
