A systems approach to systems change

Through a holistic and systems-based approach to portfolio strategy, construction, management, and reporting, we collaboratively develop internal perspectives that are informed by our diverse expertise and guide our investment strategies to pursue investments that are individually compelling and cohesive across the broader portfolio.*

Our team works collaboratively to develop investment strategies based on ideas we are interested in pursuing and problems we strive to solve, creating beneficial outcomes while achieving market rate financial returns. The experience of our team reflects the diversity of our portfolio, enabling us to better consider each element of all Five Areas of Focus in any single strategy or investment. We believe it is possible to build healthy systems and also achieve attractive financial returns.

In contrast to unsustainable models of extraction or degradation that require ongoing external inputs to maintain fertility, health, productivity, and financial viability, we are committed to a more regenerative approach that adopts a long-term perspective and builds the health of that system over time by connecting the dots of individual solutions. We value the diversity, and simultaneous complexity and simplicity, that is inherent in every human, ecological, business, and financial system. We strive to embrace such a dichotomy to maximize these systems’ potential and ensure their future.
