At the beginning of this year, the Collective Insight team did not realise how apt the chosen topic, “How to better measure the value and impact of your investments”, would be right now. In the absence of the current crisis, this edition would have highlighted that SA needs more focus on impact investing – a global trend where investments are made with the intention to generate a positive, measurable societal impact alongside a financial return. Most of this edition’s authors consider this now a fait accompli – investment decision-making needs to transform, not for the sake of a quick economic recovery, but for a long-term sustainable society.
