Performance challenges Source: GIIN, J.P. Morgan 2015 Given these challenges, how satisfied are investors with the social performance of their portfolios?

Performance relative to expectations

Measurement Conundrum Many challenges to measuring social impact… Yet investors are satisfied with social performance! o Highly idiosyncratic practice; limited convergence o Little external scrutiny or reporting obligations o Few incentives or demands for systematized information See: GIIN/J.P.
