Harvard Business School Study - The Hard Numbers on Social Investments
PDF(126539 kb)
In 2002, the IC Foundation collaborated with Harvard Business School
and McKinsey & Company to conduct a study of the financial returns on
$72 million of IC member investments over 10 years. The HBS/McKinsey
study found that treated as a hypothetical portfolio, companies
invested in through IC generated a 5% and a 14% return, based
respectively on a buy-and-hold strategy or on an "additional round
investment and liquidation after lock-up" strategy. The study included
data from 110 IC member investments. The study was published in
Stanford's Journal of Social Innovation, Harvard Business School's
Working Knowledge, The Hard Numbers on Social Investments, and the
McKinsey Quarterly, A Halo for Angel Investors.
