Tailor-made Climate Funds

Why new climate funds?

Existing climate funds may not meet the specific needs of funders and investors in terms of geography, sector, investment type, and impact delivery schedule. New funds can be tailored to specific investor needs.

New funds also offer specific communication and branding opportunities for clients, and enable tailor-made designs.
