Inspired by lessons learned in the high-impact investment space, Nia Global Solutions has taken those concepts into the publicly traded markets. At Nia, we recognize private venture opportunities are not the only way that investors can make a difference. We understand that solution-focused companies are found around the globe and across the market-capitalization spectrum. By focusing our investment universe on publicly traded companies, we are able to build a portfolio of the most creative and positively impactful companies—those businesses that most contribute to bettering our planet through real and tangible solutions to some of the world’s most critical equity and sustainability problems. We seek to harvest opportunities that offer vital and innovative solutions, such as: - Sustainable planet products and services, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and technology. - Affordable housing that is environmentally friendly and that promotes community development. - Affordable transportation, with an emphasis on products and systems that eliminate or reduce damaging emissions. - Organic and non-GMO food products with an understanding that sustainable farming methods contribute to a healthier planet and people. - Healthcare innovations including access to care. - Educational technologies and systems that expand opportunities and level the playing field for those with limited access. - Financial services, including basic banking and financial literacy for traditionally underserved communities. Nia Global Solutions provides investors the opportunity to use the power of their investment account to seek financial gain, as well as to help provide innovative solutions for people and the planet. This separately managed account program was created, in part, to meet the needs of responsible investors searching for high-impact companies that offer the liquidity of publicly-traded markets.
