ClearlySo is often a place social entrepreneurs and investors go to find up-to-date information of what's going on in the social business and social enterprise worlds so it's no surprise that with the launch of the Allia Future for Children Bond, they're right there not only covering it, but creating an infographic to mark the change of the social investment markets in the United Kingdom over the last few decades.
Most importantly, perhaps, the data- and date-filled infographic defines social investment as "the provision of finance with the objective of achieving specific social outcomes AND the expectation of receiving back at least the original amount invested." They also offer predictions on how the social investment industry could group over the years.
