Currently working as a Public Finance IB Analyst and I am too far away from the change that I am financing than I anticipated. Due to this, I am considering the transition to Impact Investing where I can be more hand on with good that is being accomplished.
Anyone know what this recruiting process is like? Do I need to get an MBA or switch to corporate before I even try applying to an Impact PE shop or does my PubFin experience show enough of a story to make the move?
Any insight is much appreciated
"The bulk of 2015 investments ($7.2 billion) came from asset managers, who said they invested primarily on behalf of family offices and foundations. These limited partners said they preferred to make impact investments through managers due to their expertise and access to opportunities, as well as for the diversification and risk benefits of investing in a fund rather than investing directly." http://www.ai-cio.com/channel/ASSET-ALLOCATION/Impact-Investing-is--Thr… http://www.ai-cio.com/channel/ASSET-ALLOCATION/Impact-Investments-Surpa… http://www.institutionalinvestor.com/inside-edge/3577813/impact-investm…
For more info on Impact Investing or PRI, sites like ai-cio & institutionalinvestor are decent sources.

At the moment, my goal is to end up at an impact investing private equity firm. Does anyone have any experience with this or work in the industry? If so, could you tell me: - What firms are the big players in impact investing? - Where are said firms located? - How does recruiting work? Same as MF PE? Go to IBD for two years and then hope to make the switch? - What does pay look like? I'm assuming a good chunk lower than regular PE.
Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
