NEW YORK, March 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Impact investment firm Enhanced Capital Group (1999), which invests in overlooked projects with tangible community benefits, was named to the ImpactAssets 50 (IA 50), a free annual database for impact investors, family offices, corporate and family foundations, and institutional investors. IA 50 features a competitive, diversified listing of private capital fund managers with distinguished and measurable track records delivering social and environmental impact and financial returns. The IA 50 connects the rapidly growing number of investors and financial advisors with the country's leading impact investment firms, helping them achieve substantial and impactful change.

Since 2012, impact investing has grown tenfold in market size, now representing one in every three investment dollars in the United States, according to Rockefeller philanthropy. ImpactAssets examines each impact fund, as well as the execution of funds to help ensure impact investors that these private-capital fund managers are delivering positive, qualified results.

"We have remained steadfast in our commitment to creating quality jobs and growing businesses in underserved communities since 1999," said Gingee Prince, Chief Impact Officer and Managing Director at Enhanced Capital. "As our firm has grown, we've continued to amplify our impact measurements through additional metrics, screening processes, and annual assessments, to better quantify the primary, secondary, and tertiary impacts our investments drive.
