Private impact deals get most of the attention — but they run into three hard constraints for most investors. First, liquidity: capital is typically locked for 7–10 years, limiting allocation to 2–5% of a diversified portfolio. Second, access: most vehicles are restricted to accredited investors with five- or six-figure minimums. Third, transparency: private companies have no obligation to publish standardised impact data. Meanwhile, U.S. households own approximately 90% of a $62 trillion stock market. That 95% sitting in public equities is where most investors’ real impact potential lives — and it requires no accreditation, no lock-up, and no minimum beyond a single share.
The full guide is coming soon. In the meantime, the Ziggma Impact Investing Guide covers the complete public-market impact framework, including the six strategies self-directed investors can use today.
