What it examines

Reviews public information on 17 institutions’ market-impact methodologies, targets, incentives and reporting. The authors find substantial differences and gaps in the evidence shareholders can use to assess how investment decisions affect markets.

Why it matters

Includes BII, PIDG and several UK-backed multilaterals. This is a review of disclosed systems and practices, not a ranking of achieved impact. Missing public information does not establish that an internal practice is absent.
