Mission-aligned clients often have a specific north star or set of values they would like to pursue through their investments. OCIOs must work closely with clients to understand these values and prudently align them with their financial goals.   Read the below blog by Capricorn’s Kunle Apampa, William Orum, and Mandira Reddy on how to construct an impact portfolio that best suits mission-aligned client needs. Thank you to Confluence Philanthropy for the feature.

Last week, Capricorn Investment Group partner Michaela Edwards spoke at the Sustainable Finance Initiative’s annual Asian Family Impact Summit in Hong Kong, alongside Hanson Gong, Sophie Khau, and Junice Yeo. This year’s Summit focused on How Capital meets Purpose – building actionable roadmaps to further portfolio impact. The panel discussed: (1) Systems-level and total portfolio mindset for real change (2) The evolution of the asset management space to meet global challenges (3) Perhaps most importantly: a call to be bold, and be incremental in building your approach to impact investing – Michaela Edwards   Thanks to the full team at the Sustainable Finance Initiative, especially Katy Yung, for the invitation to join a powerful conversation among a fantastic group of family office investors!

I had the privilege of speaking on a panel about the voluntary carbon markets and nature based solutions alongside compliance experts Nik Mittal, Ruben Lubowski, and Luke Oliver. Capricorn Investment Group committed to net zero in 2021 on behalf of several of its clients, a first of its kind commitment made by an asset manager. We've been a long time investor in the carbon space with the mission of catalyzing capital into nature and partnering with local communities. Many thanks to the Foundation House and Richard Zimmerman & team for hosting such a fantastic event!
