          Impact investments are the future

          For a long time ‘investing in a good cause’ was not regarded as an investment activity in the strict financial sense, but was assigned to the area of charity.

          Investment themes & strategy

          Being a rational optimist

          The world is becoming a better place. All the indicators concur: increasing life expectancy on every continent of the planet, falling child mortality and child labour, rising prosperity and, from a global perspective, declining inequality.
