4.1.2 Social Investment Advisors

Investment banks are the key actors when it comes to match supply and demand. The equivalent of traditional investment banks are social investment advisors. Big Society Capital was founded with 600 million GBP of funding from dormant bank accounts and is trying to connect investors with charities and social enterprises. Since their start in 2011, it has committed 820 million GBP to reach more than 2,000 organizations. It is interesting to note how a commercial approach enables a financial intermediary to give out loans more than once and thus multiply its impact.

Besides Big Society Capital, there are other social investment advisors. The Financing Agency for Social Entrepreneurship (FASE) is consulting social enterprises in their fundraising process and connecting them with investors. From the start they have helped social enterprises raise more than 50 million Euros and have set up their own investment fund as well.
