Do Impact funds generally generate lower returns than others?  What is the expectation held by Limited Partners?

There are lots of funds with an Impact thesis that are over-performing while others under perform. They follow a Pareto distribution for returns just like all other funds.
Thank you Mike, from what I have read that sounds about right with the key variation being those that deliberately place financial returns lower on their priority list.  I found this article interesting:  https://impactalpha.com/do-impact-venture-capital-funds-outperform-traditional-vc-yes-no-and-maybe/#:~:text=Using%20the%20latest%20Cambridge%20Associates,a%20bottom%20quartile%20of%201%25.
