As a recent MIT Sloan case study on “Systemic Investing” shows, millions of dollars from the Fink family triggered billions of dollars in annual investments that flowed into a network of complementary solutions. The MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative's Owning Impact Project is a new research initiative that explores the role and potential of systematic investments — an emerging investment logic that asks the question of what fundamental changes are needed and How financial capital is used could to make such changes possible.
Objective and impact
By working together with different actors and strategically allocating capital, the aim is to promote a wider, integrated approach to solving systemic problems that goes beyond simple impact metrics and individual investments. The aim is to support real system change that focuses on the fundamental transformation of human and natural systems.
