Demystifying SRI vs. Impact Investing (with Research Integration)
I. Introduction

Open with a statistic highlighting the growth of sustainable investing (e.g., "Sustainable investing surpassed $35 trillion in assets under management globally in 2022" - [Source: Global Sustainable Investment Alliance]).
Problem: Briefly explain the confusion surrounding SRI and impact investing.
Solution: Introduce the article as a guide to understanding the differences, benefits, and challenges of both approaches.
II. Decoding the Strategies

SRI:

Definition: Explain SRI as integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions while aiming for competitive returns.
Methods: Discuss screening techniques (negative/positive) and ESG ratings.
Benefits: Highlight risk management (e.g., avoiding unsustainable practices), alignment with values, and potential for strong returns (citing Biasin et al., 2019).
Challenges: Discuss potential performance limitations and the challenge of defining "sustainable," noting the difference between SRI and impact investing's approach to impact assessment (Arjaliès et al., 2022).
Eg:
Interview a portfolio manager of an SRI fund focused on clean energy companies.
Showcase a data visualization comparing the performance of an SRI fund to a broader market index.
Impact Investing:

Definition: Explain impact investing as intentionally directing capital towards companies or projects with measurable social and environmental benefits alongside a financial return. (Cojoianu et al., 2020).
Methods: Discuss investment types (venture capital, microfinance), impact measurement frameworks (refer to Ormiston et al., 2015 for overcoming challenges).
Benefits: Highlight generating positive social/environmental change, potential for high returns (emerging markets) (citing Gigante et al., 2023), portfolio diversification (Biasin et al., 2019).
Challenges: Lower liquidity, limited data on impact measurement, potentially higher risk (Mogapi et al., 2019).
Example:
Feature a case study of a company providing clean water solutions in developing countries.
Interview an impact investor about their experience and the challenges faced (refer to Ormiston et al., 2015 for overcoming challenges).
III. Visualizing the Differences:
Create an infographic or table comparing key aspects of SRI and impact investing (focus, return expectations, risk profile, measurement) including the prevalence of different sectors (agriculture, cleantech, education) in impact investing (Cojoianu et al., 2021).
IV. The Future of Sustainable Investing
Discuss the convergence of SRI and impact investing, noting the distance between the two communities narrowing (Arjaliès et al., 2022).
Include expert opinions on the increasing demand for sustainable investment options.
Briefly mention other related trends like ESG integration.
