The concept behind impact investing is simple: when capital is channeled into businesses that act towards a positive impact on the environment and/or society, investors could achieve not only attractive financial returns but also positive impact for our planet and/or society over the long-term. It’s what we call the “double dividend”.

How impactful is your investing in the real world? At Vontobel, we consider this imperative to know. In the almost fifteen years since we launched our first strategy targeting environmental challenges, we’ve been focused on continually improving and refining our measuring and reporting to provide you with a full and accurate picture of your investment and its potential impact for our planet and/or society.

The aim to future-proofing investments is a strategic focus at Vontobel. Our impact investing approach embodies this. Seeking to tackle the most pressing environmental and social problems helps preserve a world worth investing in. Impact investing also offers a growing opportunity for investors. It’s a way to future-proof portfolios while investing for positive change.
