A watershed moment in #impinv with the publication by BlueMark of the first, data-driven benchmark for impact management practice lnkd.in/gm3DycQ @TDLNE clients are hungry for this data on how to be an impact leader, which is critical for institutionalizing integrity

Excellent piece for wealth advisors whose clients are interested in investing in Black and Brown, rural, tribal and other underserved communities through time-tested #CDFIs. #impinv #econdev @OppFinance
A masterclass for advisors, on adding _tailored impact_ to a portfolio using CDFIs as either cash or fixed income allocations.
