Impact investing
We help you to create the changes you wish to see in the world.Many clients want their investments to contribute to solutions to the big problems they see in the world. This is possible by allocating capital to impact investments. Impact investments are investments that are made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.
DEFINING IMPACT
To create impact, 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 help you articulate your values and define the areas you wish to focus on.
DELIVERING IMPACT
We bring your impact intentions to life through a portfolio of aligned investments. Our aim is to deliver a portfolio that creates long-term positive impact and is financially successful.
DEMONSTRATING IMPACT
Understanding the impact of your investments is a core principle of impact investing. We report on the estimated impact performance of your investments, demonstrating alignment to the portfolio objectives.
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 the planet.
