Impact Investing offers enormous market opportunities.

The shift towards sustainability is changing every area of our economy and has strong drivers:

• Growing demand due to changing consumer behaviour
• Extensive availability of cost effective new technologies
• Regulatory support

Now is just the right moment.

Many industries will experience turning points in which sustainable alternatives conquer the mass market and push conventional products into the background. Companies that launch or use corresponding new technologies will be successful.

Golding offers the best conditions for successful impact investing.

Golding offers institutional investors access to the best fund managers worldwide. Broad diversification across sectors, regions and company stages, plus transparent reporting of impact performance and a disciplined investment process.

Investing in Impact Investments also involves risks.

• There can be no guarantee that a specific return or earnings target will be achieved. Past returns and forecasts are no guarantee of future success.
• Nor can it be guaranteed that the advertised environmental or social characteristics will be fulfilled or that the targeted sustainable investment will be achieved.
• Minority shareholders who are not involved in the management of an impact fund have no or only limited influence over the fund manager.
• The use of debt financing (leverage) is usually permitted at impact fund level. Although the use of leverage can improve performance, it also increases the potential for loss.
• The market values of impact funds may be subject to significant fluctuations due to macroeconomic factors and/or other changing market conditions.
• Sustainability risks can have an impact on the market value and solvency of the assets held by impact funds.
• Impact funds are usually unregulated investment vehicles that offer only limited investor protection.
• The investment strategy of impact funds includes emerging markets. The political and macroeconomic risks in these regions can be higher than in developed economies.
• The investor bears the risk of the tax and regulatory structure of the impact funds and the investments made. It cannot be guaranteed that the regulatory and/or tax environment will not change - even retroactively - during the term of the investment. A change in the regulatory and/or tax environment may lead to additional financial burdens, which may have a negative impact on returns.
• If risks should materialise, investors in impact funds may suffer losses to value up to the amount of the total loss of the invested capital.
