This report by This is Africa surveyed European and US limited partners, such as pension funds and insurance companies, to explore their views on emerging markets and socially responsible investing (SRI). While 65% of investors allocate to emerging markets, less than 30% target Africa-focused funds, with many deterred by concerns over governance, transparency, and political risk. Opinions on investing in Africa are split. The report reveals a limited understanding of SRI. Only 39% of investors monitor social impact, and 60% see SRI as merely excluding unethical investments rather than actively driving change. Impact investing is poorly understood, with just 32% familiar with the concept. Though 25% would accept lower returns for proven social benefits, most investors remain skeptical due to insufficient data. This report aims to highlight these gaps in knowledge and encourage further discussion.
