This book examines regulated funding platforms for impact investing known as social stock exchanges (SSE). The book analyses the antecedents and prerequisites for the successful implementation of SSEs. It presents the creation of SSEs as a necessary step towards a more democratic and popular impact investing, and a way to align the asset search process for investors with capital access for entrepreneurs. The book showcases successful financial structuring, integrating impact into existing financial products, standalone impact solutions, the status quo of impact investing and social entrepreneurship and  discusses the pros and cons of platforms versus the use of traditional stock exchanges for impact investing. It discusses aspects of adjusted portfolio and product structuring, innovation in the context of listing criteria and makes proposals for   impact stock listings at platforms and traditional stock exchanges.weiterlesen
