Multi Asset Impact: Market-based financial returns and measurable positive impact
Objective
Philosophy
- We care about people and the planet. Therefore, we invest in both environmental and social themes.
- We aim to make impact where it matters most. With a focused, thematic approach, the strategy predominantly addresses social challenges in Emerging Markets and environmental issues in Developed Markets.
- We select specialist investment managers to deliver the best combination of impact and financial performance. Private Market investments are in our view best positioned to make positive impact while also delivering returns.
- Goal setting and reporting is important: lasting impact and progress can only be reached by setting outcome-oriented and measurable goals.
Approach
Our experienced team follows a disciplined, structured process designed to:
- Invest at negotiated fees in institutional-quality, unlisted funds making a positive, measurable impact in our four focus areas:
1. Climate & energy,
2. Circular economy,
3. SME development & decent work,
4. Basic needs & well-being;
- Generate market-based returns through a diversified, global portfolio of private equity, unlisted infrastructure and private debt funds. This includes a significant allocation to businesses operating in emerging markets; and
- Demonstrating the achievement on impact KPI’s by providing clear reporting on a quarterly and annual basis relating to our focus impact areas.
