The growing demand is being met by a broad spectrum of potential investment opportunities, particularly in sustainable technologies that are close to market maturity. What is particularly exciting here is how regulatory frameworks such as the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) are shaping the development of impact products.

However, the range of Article 9 target funds on offer in Europe remains limited.  In order to counter this, with a method known as the Article 9 shadow process, impact funds from outside the EU can be included in the Article 9 classification through a fund of funds structure. To unlock the full potential of this, comprehensive asset manager expertise and cooperation with international target fund managers are essential.

Impact investing could be on the verge of a real breakthrough as many interesting assets with a measurable positive impact on sustainability are coming onto the market right now. And they serve far more than just climate protection.

In their guest article, Dr Andreas Nilsson, Managing Director & Head of Impact Investing, and Tim Ickenroth, Director Institutional Clients Insurance, Pension & Benefit Schemes, shed light on the new opportunities opening up for investors with a diversified impact portfolio.
