A leading investment professional explains the world of impact investing–investing in businesses and projects with a social and financial return–and shows what it takes to make sustainable, transformative change.
Impact investment–the support of social and environmental projects with a financial return–has become a hot topic on the global stage; poised to eclipse traditional aid by ten times in the next decade. But the field is at a tipping point: Will impact investment empower millions of people worldwide, or will it replicate the same mistakes that have plagued both aid and finance?

In Real Impact, she teaches us how to get it right, leveraging the world’s resources to truly transform the economy.

In Real Impact, Simon shares her experience as both investor and activist to offer clear strategies for investors, community leaders, and entrepreneurs alike. Real Impact is essential reading for anyone seeking real change in the world.
