Firm Mission

Innovation, Scale, and Impact are the three key tenets that guide our investment decisions. We work with forward-thinking investors and the most innovative entrepreneurs in key areas of sustainability to transform industry leading operating companies into institutional asset managers. We believe that our asset managers can generate superior returns and have lasting impact.

Sustainable investing is becoming synonymous with “doing it profitably” and “doing it right.” But Equilibrium Capital takes this one step further. Long-term sustainable business models recognize that long-term value lies in what is important to people – better places to live, and healthier communities. Our financial innovation lies expressly in discovering and applying the financial instruments that release the profits from the values of doing it right. Because “doing it right” drives “doing it profitably.”

It is our mission to inspire and attract the talents of experts who can bring the vision to life, breaking down silos, and serving the common vision. We will not be limited by our own limitations; we will collaborate. We call this “convene to build.”

Innovation
In sustainable real estate, renewable energy, microfinance and climate change, we see massive new investment sectors created by entrepreneurial asset managers that are innovating to produce new business models, financing vehicles, and investment strategies to form these markets.

At Equilibrium, we believe it is these types of innovations that will drive the scaling of impact and opportunities for sustainable investing.

Scale
The misalignment of incentives and benefits has been a huge barrier to scale and impact across key sustainability sectors. Scale is a fundamental requirement to attract the institutional investor capital that affords the opportunity to have impact at scale. Our asset managers understand this. They have built organizations that meet the needs of institutional investors to deploy billions of dollars in capital in sustainable investments that offer attractive, long-term, risk-adjusted returns and positive social and environmental impact.

Equilibrium is focused on assisting in the development of both the investment strategies and investment vehicles that can support institutional scale. It is also why Equilibrium focuses on asset managers that target massive sectors of the economy; because they offer the opportunity to satisfy institutional investor appetite for sustainable investment opportunities, and to therefore have impact at scale.

Impact
It is our mission to bring about a new formula — a pioneering equation — to drive impact in investing. This is how we define progress and our contribution to our global community. Environmental and Social Benefits drive Financial Returns, which is the definition of Sustainable Investing.

Each member of the Equilibrium team shares a deeply personal commitment to the mission of creating impact at scale.
