Impact Investing and Responsible Exits

Impact investors strive to sustain the positive impact beyond the life of an investment. This can be challenging, and disruptive market conditions such as COVID-19 make it more so.  Impact Principle # 7 asks Signatories to conduct exits considering the effect on sustained impact. How this Principle is implemented varies by type of investment (private equity or debt, loans, public bonds or equity) and type of investor (asset manager or asset owner) and investment vehicle (private fund, fund of funds, mutual fund, loan, bond, individual securities).
