Impact investors for over a decade, our approach is deliberately label-agnostic, focused on concrete impact while seeking to generate commercial private equity returns. Today, we continue to push the envelope questioning everything, from the scale of impact to the way to hold ourselves accountable.

Please be aware that liquidity instruments may be subject to certain additional risks. Fixed-income securities are subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest-rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In the current rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income.
