"There is growing interest in, but also a great deal of confusion surrounding, impact investing. We’ve found that many investors face similar challenges when it comes to impact, whether it’s defining one’s social or environmental objectives, making informed investment decisions within the impact universe, or simply understanding and accounting for associated risks," said Alfonso.

"Our goal is to help clients overcome these respective hurdles by developing investment strategies that fit within the framework of their values-based philosophies and overall asset allocations," she added.

The new firm provides measurement and reporting of social impact variables using the firm’s proprietary impact.
