Impact investing

We help you to create the change you wish to see in the world.

Many charities want their investments to contribute to solutions to the societal issues they see in the world. This is possible by allocating capital to impact investments. Impact investments are those that are made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.

DEFINING IMPACT

To create impact, charity investors need to identify the problems they are trying to solve and understand the reasons these issues exist. Bringing our expertise across environmental and social issues, we can align your investments with your mission and values.

DELIVERING IMPACT

We can bring impact to life through a portfolio of aligned investments. Our aim is to deliver a portfolio that creates long-term positive impact.

DEMONSTRATING IMPACT

Understanding the impact of an investment is a core principle of impact investing. We report on the estimated impact of the investments on people and planet and from a financial perspective.

Investment Examples

Whether supporting renewable energy projects, investing in accessible healthcare, or backing social enterprises, impact investing can help you to make a difference. By directing capital towards solutions to the global challenges we face, impact investing has the potential to contribute to a better future for both people and planet.
