T. Rowe Price Global Impact Equity Fund

Impact Investing Explained

Impact strategies are investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable, environmental or social impact alongside a financial return.

We believe impact investing offers a real opportunity to target stocks that can help deliver positive impact and at the same time pursue excess return potential. 

Hear from our Portfolio Manager Hari Balkrishna in a series of videos to help you understand impact investing.

"Impact is about the present but includes dimensions of change and persistence. Impact requires conscious action, skilled execution, and the commitment of additionality."

- Hari Balkrishna, Portfolio Manager, T. Rowe Price Global Impact Equity Fund

What is ESG & Impact investing?

Impact investing is a natural extension of ESG integration

ESG

integration

The incorporation of environmental, social and governance factors into investment analysis.

 

Sustainable strategies

Values-based strategy that considers not only the financial return potential of an investment, but also its impact on environmental or societal fundamentals.

Impact

strategies

Investments made with the explicit intention to generate positive environmental or social impact alongisde a financial return.

Embedding values

Aligning ownership

Quantifying impact

For certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, cash, currency positions, and particular types of derivatives, an ESG analysis may not be relevant or possible due to a lack of data. Where ESG considerations are integrated into the investment research process, we may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making investment decisions.
