The year-over-year growth rate shows great promise, as well, with the total AUM rising from $114 billion in 2016 to $228 billion in 2017 to $502 billion in 2018.

B Corps and impact companies have consistently populated Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies annual list, with Warby Parker and Revolution Foods taking top spots.
