Capricorn Investment Group’s Sustainable Investors Fund platform (SIF) was highlighted in The Global Impact Investing Network’s recent Common and Emerging Practices publication, a new series of resources from the Operating Principles for Impact Management. Capricorn is featured in their Signatory Practice Spotlight for the principle of defining strategic impact objective(s) consistent with the investment strategy.
SIF embodies this principle through the below areas:
▶️ System change-driven theory of change: SIF addresses the systemic challenge of capital concentration in large, established investment firms, which limits the growth of impact-aligned capital deployed by emerging managers with innovative strategies.
▶️ Colinear model for impact and financial return: SIF approach is anchored in the belief that financial performance and impact can be aligned. Portfolio firms must demonstrate how scalable impact and competitive risk-adjusted returns are interlinked through a clear investment thesis.
▶️ Platform-based partnership to scale high-impact models: Leveraging flexible capital and Capricorn’s network platform, SIF offers hands-on support in strategic planning, fundraising, operations and marketing — enhancing firm-level capacity and investor contribution beyond capital.
