Impact
We aim to invest in businesses that can have a long term positive societal or environmental impact.
Responsible investing
We believe investment managers, businesses and investors all have a role to play when it comes to responsible investing. The support of private capital will be critical in order to achieve the objectives of the EU Green Deal, the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The integration of ESG and sustainability considerations by businesses will drive innovation and future-proof operations enabling them to become more adaptable and resilient. It creates a competitive advantage compared to those who delay integration.
We have created a practical approach to responsible investing which exists throughout our origination and investment process. This allows us to identify businesses who we believe can offer better long-term risk-adjusted returns.
We are signatories of the UN PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment) and are affiliated with regional UN Sustainable Development Goal aligned initiatives.
Impact philosophy
By providing long-term capital solutions to the right middle market businesses, we can help support wider society and the environment.
Throughout the lifetime of an investment we aim to nurture, develop and enhance ESG programs and improve the impact alignment of investee companies. We believe we can help accelerate positive societal and environmental outcomes, without compromising on returns.
We take a balanced view on business efficacy and ESG maturity, focusing on excellent management teams, robust business models and providing tailored solutions. We pride ourselves on high levels of engagement and a hands-on approach.
