Investment Portfolio
Through Social Finance, J.P. Morgan has committed its own capital to the impact investment market. With these investments, we pursue positive impact on low-income and excluded populations while earning a reasonable financial return. We also seek to play a catalytic role by providing commercial capital to impactful businesses. Our ultimate goal is to encourage broader investment alongside our own from a diverse group of investors that might otherwise not have invested.
