Capricorn Investment Director Marie-Céline Damnon was featured on the New Private Markets Podcast to discuss our Sustainable Investors Fund platform and Capricorn’s recent growth investment with Closed Loop Partners.
Our Sustainable Investors Fund is a GP stakes platform designed to create value through investment and ownership in emerging impact-focused asset managers. Capricorn’s strategic investment into Closed Loop Capital Management is part of these continued efforts to provide long-term capital in support of leading asset management firms in the sustainability and climate space.
Listen to the podcast to hear more about Capricorn’s efforts to close the gap in the impact asset management space and our strategy behind the Closed Loop investment. Key highlights below:
Capricorn’s Differentiation as an Impact Player in the GP Stakes Market
- There are large impact-native managers in the sustainable investing market as well as an abundance of small impact funds struggling to scale, but there are few mid-sized managers in between. We seek to address this gap and support the growth of smaller firms to scale into the large players at the other end of the market.
Closed Loop Capital Management Investment
- Our strategic investment into Closed Loop Capital Management marks a significant milestone and market signal for scaling the circular economy, which drives security of natural resources and optimization of supply chains through waste mitigation, from product design to advanced remanufacturing.
Our Value-Add to Managers
- We offer a a wide breadth of support functions to our fund managers, including: business development and capital raising (access to differentiated global networks in the sustainable investing ecosystem), operational advisory services (back-office and structural support), impact advisory (consultation on the impact narrative, KPI measurement and reporting, etc.), and other bespoke services.
