ImpactAlpha LP/GP has launched a new newsletter dedicated to the business of impact investing, specifically targeting the venture capital and private equity sectors.

Marieke Spence from Impact Capital Managers highlights the newsletter's importance in bridging the gap between limited partners (LPs) and general partners (GPs) regarding fundraising and capital allocation.

The newsletter will provide a variety of content, including articles, updates on active fundraising, real-time dealmaking, and insights from industry leaders.

Jim Coulter of TPG expresses optimism about impact investing, noting that climate-focused investments are expected to play a crucial role in achieving TPG's goal of managing $500 billion in assets.

Coulter also points to recent successful investments in clean energy, such as a $2.2 billion deal for a solar developer and collaborations with major tech companies to improve clean energy infrastructure.

Recent examples of co-investment strategies include a $200 million credit deal for a green steel mill, involving Generate Capital and co-investment from CalSTRS and HESTA.

Illumen Capital showcases the advantages of co-investment by focusing on engaging overlooked funds, particularly those led by underrepresented founders.

In 2024, the trend of co-investment vehicles gained momentum, with over $33 billion raised, reflecting LPs' growing appetite for direct investment opportunities with reduced fees.

Several impact funds, including Alante Capital, Triple Impact Capital, and Goodwell Investments, are in the process of raising second funds that emphasize sustainability and economic inclusion.

Upcoming events in the impact investment space, such as the Latin American Impact Investment Forum and the Equitech Texas Welcome Breakfast at SXSW, will offer valuable networking opportunities for professionals.
