There is a movement driven by Governments and various private investment companies to promote "social impact investing". It seems like a way to get people to invest in various infrastructure or community based businesses that would not normally be able to get at funding from individual investors. Also it looks like a neo-liberal market based approach to replace funding that might once have come from taxation. It also looks like a smaller scale and riskier version of municipal bonds. Often the debt instruments are only tradable in a market place setup by the company that sells them. They remind of the micro loan movement.
Would you ever invest in these, what is you opinion of them being widely marketed to maybe unsophisticated investors.?
