Measuring SRIs
Futuregrowth recognises that different investments have different on-the-ground impact. For example, funding the provision of low-income housing has a much higher impact than holding a listed parastatal bond. And an investor, in addition to earning suitable risk-adjusted returns, may also want recognition for such a high-impact investment.

Measuring developmental impact is highly subjective. Futuregrowth classes all SRI strategies as High, Medium or Low impact, depending on the actual nature of the investments and/or funds. For example:  

• High impact: infrastructure project finance, access to finance for the previously "unbanked", social infrastructure (health care, education, etc).   
• Medium impact: investor engagement.  
• Low impact: environmentally-screened ethical investments.
