Regnan offers new impact investing fund for Asian investors

It has also hired fund managers.

Investment management business Regnan has launched its new impact investing fund, the Regnan Global Equity Impact Solutions Fund, for Asian investors. The fund aims to generate long-term outperformance by investing in mission-driven companies.

The investment offering is managed by a four-person investment team, led by pioneers in impact investing in public equity markets.

The selection for companies to invest in is based on the value created for investors by providing solutions for the growing unmet sustainability needs of society and the environment, using the 17 United Nations sustainable development goals and their 169 underlying targets as an investment lens.

“We are excited to be able to help Asian institutional and high net worth investors achieve a positive impact on people and the planet with their capital at the same time as generating attractive long-term investment returns,” Regnan equity impact solutions team head Tim Crockford said.

Following the recruitment of Crockford’s team, Regnan also announced the hiring of senior fund manager Bertrand Lecourt and fund manager Saurabh Sharma earlier this month. They will join Regnan in April, and will be based in the London head office.
