Welcome to the latest edition of Nexii Impact Insights. Over the last few months, the impact investing sector has been buzzing with activity, and so too has Nexii.

In this edition of Impact Insights, we highlight key thoughts on The road ahead for impact investing from OPIC CEO, Elizabeth Littlefield’s keynote address at the recent Impact Leader’s Forum. We look at Harvard professor, Michael Sandel’s new book “What Money Can’t Buy: the Moral Limits of Markets” in If you can quantify it you can buy it, and question whether it’s possible to profit from a good action and still feel good about it.

Also in Beyond capital: the value of listing a social business on an exchange, we look at the journey of listing a social business on an exchange, and explore how the value of listing goes far beyond simple capital-raising.

We are nearly half way through 2012, but don’t let that alarm you. We’ve seen incredible innovation and advancement just over the last few months, with many more exciting things to come.

In this edition of Impact Insights we look at two pinnacle innovations gaining momentum in 2012 and shaping the impact investing sphere; the Social Impact Bond and emerging legal structures. We question the power and potential of the Social Impact Bond, and gain insight into emerging legal structures with the help of Nexii advisory board member, Arthur Wood.

Also in this edition, we explore the climate of impact investing, and review Bugg-Levine and Emerson’s book, Impact Investing: Transforming How We Make Money While Making a Difference. To roundup this latest edition of Impact Insights, be sure to take part in Nexii’s legal structure survey.

A belated happy new year greeting to you all.  In this first edition of Impact InSights for 2012 we interview advisory board member, Jeremy Nicholls, about impact reporting and why standardization may be the key to accessing funding.  We also look at the Occupy Wall Street movement and how it relates to the social business sector. Finally, Nexii’s Justine Raschio explores the scientific method of theory of change, while we share exciting news about our running in the Buckminster Fuller Challenge and Nexii’s upcoming events.
