Resumen

It is possible to affirm that the creation of a solid impactintermediation infra-structure, by connecting both sides of supplyand demand, is a critical aspect for the development and goodfunctioning of the impact market; giving special im-portance toimpact funds, capable of attracting private capital. In order to categorise the different impact funds according to the most relevantaspects, the pro-posal form for the characterisation of impact fundshas been drawn up.The Sustainable Development Goals present a great opportunity forimpact inves-tors to support this global agenda through theplacement of capital in projects that address these critical challengeswe face (Global Impact Investment Network, 2018). Therefore,based on the previous information, it is proposed as a mainrecommendation that the different funds unify and align their effortsin the same direction of work as the Agenda by including in theimpact considerations, integrated throughout each of the stages thatmake up the investment process, the Sustainable DevelopmentObjectives: objectives, targets and indicators.
