<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The report examines how institutional asset owners (IAOs) such as pension funds and insurance companies are integrating impact investing into their portfolios, based on data from 22 institutions managing $3.5 trillion across 10 countries. It highlights a shift from exploratory initiatives to more systematic strategies, with priorities focused on institutionalizing impact governance, expanding across asset classes, and building resilience amid market volatility. Climate remains the universal impact theme, while social priorities vary by region. Most IAOs target modest allocations (typically under 5% of AUM) concentrated in private markets, though interest in listed equities and public debt is growing. Key challenges include defining credible impact classifications, aggregating impact performance at the portfolio level, and strengthening measurement and reporting systems. The report underscores IAOs' potential to drive systemic change, provided they embed impact alongside financial objectives and scale allocations without compromising impact integrity</abstract>
