If you’d asked me a couple of years ago about the vital link between financial well-being, personal values, and how these have direct impact on the world around us - I wouldn’t have known where to start. Fast forward to now and it’s one of my deepest passions! Our investments (including KiwiSaver) & financial decisions will literally change the course of our future; for people, planet & animals (not to mention our own hauora)…but it’s not currently the norm for us to receive the education or knowledge we deserve to empower ourselves around money wellness - and I’m on a mission to change this! Lets kōrero about the interconnectedness between what our money is funding and how that supports (or damages) collective wellbeing 🌏 We’ll make sure to weave in guidance & transparency tools so you can confidently implement this kaupapa for yourself, for your whānau & for your team. See you soon Blenheim! Climate Action Marlborough Pathfinder Asset Management Limited Catherine van der Meulen John Berry

🌟 Exciting News from Our Team! 🌟 We are pleased to announce our new name: Capital Continuum Advisers. This name reflects our commitment to illustrating the dynamic evolution of projects and industries within the financial landscape. The Capital Continuum describes how initiatives transition from high-risk, capital-constrained phases, often associated with elevated costs, to a stage of reduced risk, enhanced value, and greater access to commercial and institutional capital. Early-stage investments typically rely on grants, whether in research environments or community transformations, eventually evolving into venture capital, equity, public finance, and debt in the later stages. To mobilize the estimated $7 trillion needed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ensure we keep global warming at a liveable level, it is imperative that we attract private capital swiftly. The Capital Continuum framework empowers us to better align opportunity with risk, while clearly identifying critical gaps within the system. At Capital Continuum Advisers, we tackle these pressing challenges by focusing on Sustainable Infrastructure across diverse landscapes. Our initiatives extend from natural infrastructure solutions, including reforestation, mangrove restoration, and regenerative agriculture, to the green built environment, encompassing affordable housing, smart water urban infrastructure, and renewable energy. This strategic approach enables us to diversify our revenue strategies while addressing essential natural and societal needs. By considering climate finance requirements related to nature-based solutions and sustainable infrastructure, we have pinpointed numerous critical market gaps. We are unwavering in our dedication to addressing these gaps through designing innovative investment solutions and providing tailored advisory services for investors and funds committed to supporting the Global South. At the core of our operations is an enduring commitment to integrity. By bringing innovative climate solutions to our investor and advisory partners throughout the Capital Continuum, we aim to transform climate finance and structure $1 billion for transformational, high-impact investments in nature and sustainable infrastructure by 2030. Join us on this transformative journey as we navigate the future of climate finance together! 🌍💚 #CapitalContinuum #SustainableInfrastructure #ClimateFinance #Investment #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #Innovation #NatureBasedSolutions Karin Berardo Edit Kiss Arthur Wace Yoshimi Higuchi Ayse Frey Clemens Ploechl Roopal Kanabar Emma L.  

Stafford Capital Partners is proud to announce the launch of the firm's flagship Private Equity Decarbonization Program, which is set to leverage the power of private equity in supporting the pathway to #NetZero.   This new Program will provide customised climate solutions for institutional investors looking to understand the emissions profile of their current Private Equity investments, and develop a tailored climate strategy that will set climate targets and take action to achieve real #decarbonization.   Angus Whiteley, Stafford's Chief Executive says: "As a committed member of the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, we believe that addressing the challenges of climate change is paramount in today's world. Our strategic focus on decarbonization strategies reflects not just a business decision, but also a conscious decision to systematically push decarbonization efforts into the private equity asset class."   The Program will focus on three core components: 🌿 Helping clients to understand their emissions profile and plan for new investments that align with their decarbonization objectives 🌿 Allow clients to co-invest for climate impact with risk-adjusted returns 🌿 Advocating for and reporting on decarbonization progress   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dfvNp6Qp https://lnkd.in/d7VxY9Fu #Decarbonization #PrivateEquity #Sustainability

Beyond impact-investing, it’s climate-led investing “We call it climate-led investing because we start with the climate science and climate data. And that defines the opportunity set. And then we look for the solutions that can create attractive returns.” Clara Barby is Senior Partner at Just Climate, which was spun out of Generation Investment Management. Their first fund raised $US1.5 Billion to drive radical reductions in emissions by focusing on heavy industry and hard-to-abate sectors.
