Investing for Impact
Allocating a portion of a financial portfolio to impact investing and/or venture capital offers families a unique opportunity to drive tangible, positive change while providing financial returns.
Similar to philanthropy, impact investing allows families to unite around shared values and causes, channeling their wealth into ventures that address societal and environmental challenges. Unlike traditional investments, it focuses on generating measurable social and environmental impact alongside financial gain.
Venture capital, on the other hand, presents families with the opportunity to invest in innovative solutions, that can on one hand contribute to societal and environmental betterment, but that could also serve as valuable innovations to the family business.
KAIROS supports families in navigating this realm. Helping them in their reflexion surrounding the alignment of their investment strategies with their wider family ecosystem, their values and the broader goal of contributing to a more a sustainable and just future. This approach extends beyond solely focusing on financial returns but rather fostering a legacy of meaningful impact and systemic change alongside financial returns.
Investment Mapping: We work alongside families to support them in understanding how they can adopt a systems lens through their investments, and how to align their values and desired impact with their investment strategy.
Education & Awareness: We work alongside industry experts in educating families on the different investment approaches, how these differ from each other, and how financial capital can be leveraged for social and environmental impact.
Connecting: Once the desired focus has been identified, KAIROS scouts their vast network to identify the funds and venture capitalists that are the aligned with the focus, and faciliates introductions.
**Disclaimer: It is important to note that KAIROS does not provide investment advice, but merely acts as a trusted advisor that provides strategic support surrounding the investment reflexions and acts as a facilitator to make introductions that will align with the family's focus.
