A Rothschild-Rockefeller scheme to where "political debates are converted into technical metrics to be optimised, not discussed. Surveillance expands to feed the data needed for compliance. And ultimately, access to the financial system itself depends on adhering to the metrics."

Impact investing is a type of public-private partnership claiming to be investments "made into companies, organisations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental impact alongside a financial return".[1] In reality it is a Rothschild-Rockefeller scheme to achieve total control over all financial transactions.

Official narrative

Impact investors actively seek to place capital in businesses, nonprofits, and funds in industries such as renewable energy, housing, healthcare, education, microfinance, and sustainable agriculture. Institutional investors, notably North American and European development finance institutions, pension funds and endowments have played a leading role in the development of impact investing. [2]

Impact investing occurs across asset classes; for example, private equity/venture capital, debt, and fixed income. Impact investments can be made in either emerging or developed markets, and depending on the goals of the investors, can "target a range of returns from below-market to above-market rates."[3]

Invention

The term was created at a gathering in 2007 at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Centre in Italy[4], and was spread gradually over the next decade in ruling circles.

An email dated 25 October 2011, from Paul Barrett of JPMorgan Private Bank's Global Investment Opportunities Group to Jeffrey Epstein, invited him to a call hosted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation concerning 'a unique new impact investment product designed to provide the Foundation's partners with low-cost capital for product development'.[5]

In April 2012, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hosted a conference on impact investing at the State Department.[6]

Also in 2012, Lynn Forester de Rothschild mobilised capital through the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism, convening executives who controlled over $30 trillion in assets to develop the standardised ESG metrics that from then would govern investment, and co-found the Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican in 2019[7].

Branding

The analyst 'Escapekey' points out how this is branded differently for different audiences[8]:

  • At the United Nations level, the jargon becomes 'blended finance' — a technical term for mobilising private capital to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
  • In the United States, the terminology softens into the language of 'impact investing'.
  • In the United Kingdom, it was branded the 'Big Society' — a story of community empowerment and local solutions filling the gap left by a retreating state.[8]
  • The Vatican, in contrast, supplies the moral vocabulary of 'inclusive capitalism' — markets that ethically care for creation and the poor.
  • The European Union frames it in the clinical language of 'sustainable finance' and 'taxonomy' — a science-based, technocratic vision of market efficiency.

'Escapekey' also points out that "the underlying structure is identical. Public capital de-risks private investment, socialising losses while privatising gains. Political debates are converted into technical metrics to be optimised, not discussed. Surveillance expands to feed the data needed for compliance. And ultimately, access to the financial system itself depends on adhering to the metrics."[8]
