We believe that money can change the world for the better. In fact, our organisation was founded on this belief. Our mission is to create a society that protects and promotes the quality of life of all its members with human dignity at its core.
Our organisation has grown in both scale and complexity over the last few years, creating more opportunities for young people to join us. The Impact Private Debt and Equity (IPD&E) department manages seven article 9 funds investing in debt, equity, and growth capital instruments along the themes of Financial Inclusion, Energy Transition and Food Transition, in emerging markets and Europe.
