Confluence Investors is an Impact fund manager with a focus on publicly listed companies in the non-BRIC / smaller emerging markets. We believe there are great businesses in these often-overlooked markets that can deliver compelling commercial returns as well as make a meaningful Impact. As a long-term investor, we will engage with management teams around relevant Impact and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics. We are truly committed to achieving Impact as well as returns. A portion of performance fees due to management are contingent on our delivery of Impact and ESG goals. Our achievement of these targets is assessed by a third-party impact auditor. Our Impact themes are: Climate, Financial Inclusion, Education, Health, Hunger Reduction, Livelihoods, and Better Societies. Our Impact evaluation framework is rigorous, rooted in academic studies – calculating in monetary terms each portfolio company’s contribution towards the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Capitalworks, an independent alternative asset management firm with a focus in global emerging markets, is an anchor investor and is also providing operational support. Capitalworks manages over US$1 billion across multiple strategies. The Confluence Impact Fund will be launching to Accredited Investors in Q2 2022.
