| Abstract |
Background. Recent rapid development of socially-oriented investment has led to the emergence of numerous terms with rather undefined differences between them, which make it difficult to conduct economic research. The aim of this work is to determine the main directions and forms of socially-oriented investments, to highlight their essential characteristics and differences.
Materials and methods. The research tasks were implemented through analyzing works by both foreign and Russian authors in the field of social investment, as well as considering practical aspects of application of the “impact investings” in the world. The methodological potential included a comparative analysis allowing to compare the contents and importance for the development of the theory and practice of social investment.
Results. The authors investigated the development of various concepts in the field of social investment in the world and highlighted the essential features of concepts that solve social problems.
Conclusions. The results of the analysis can be used to identify investment project classes, to develop socio-economic programs, to determine assessment methods and project financing ways.
