Executive Summary
- Effective impact investing requires rigorous impact measurement.
- Many frameworks for measurement exist, but the Impact Management Project (IMP) created a comprehensive and intuitive model that can be applied to institutional portfolios invested across asset classes and impact objectives.
- This paper describes GEM’s process and presents case studies that seek to demonstrate the framework’s potential to catalyze a paradigm shift in the way endowments, foundations, family offices, and other institutional investors integrate impact and investment objectives.
GEM announced the promotion of six senior investors to Managing Director. The promotions reflect the depth and continuity of GEM's investment leadership across buyouts, venture capital, marketable investments, client strategy, and investment sourcing, and reinforce the firm's long-term commitment to leadership development and the pursuit of investment excellence.
As the pipeline of emerging managers continues to grow, Caroline Dallas, a Director in GEM’s Investment Research Group explained to the Wall Street Journal Pro Private Equity why growing investor interest in this cohort could create meaningful tailwinds for the next generation of women-led firms.
Head of Venture Capital, Kate Simpson, joined David Weisburd on the How I Invest podcast to share how GEM evaluates venture managers and builds conviction through disciplined sourcing, rigorous reference work, and thoughtful fund-level underwriting in an increasingly bifurcated market.
Let’s start a conversation about how we can help.
