Capital alone doesn’t change the world. How you use it does. We manage over USD 1 billion with one goal: to deliver impact with long-term value. We invest where it matters most: finance, food systems and water.
Impact investing still accounts for less than 1% of global assets under management. We aim higher—because transforming systems takes more than capital. It takes commitment.
Impact starts here
This is what USD 4,8 billion in investments has achieved since inception. More importantly? What that capital does:
520 investees
reached across 76+ countries - since 1992
34.5 million+
people gained access to financial services, with a majority being women - in 2024
4.5 billion liters
of safe, affordable drinking water has reached 8.4 million low-income people - in 2024
584,050
smallholder farmers have grown more sustainably on 1.5 million hectares of land - in 2024
170+
projects have delivered technical assistance, ensuring capital drives long-term impact - since 1992
And there’s more.
More than ESG compliance—
a commitment to change
Our impact measurement and management system goes beyond checking boxes. We invest in businesses that drive meaningful change and hold ourselves accountable for measuring this change at every investment stage.
01
Investing with intent
Each fund begins with a clear theory of change and eligibility criteria. We screen out harmful practices – like child labor, unsustainable operations, or predatory lending- while seeking high-potential businesses aligned with our mission. Every investment must demonstrate a measurable impact.
02
Due diligence that assesses what matters
Our ESG analysis goes beyond compliance to drive real value. Using on-site audits and proprietary scoring, we require every investment to meet at least a 55% ESG score – because impact requires more than good intentions. Our approach aligns with leading global standards for responsible investment and sustainable agriculture.
03
Data-driven impact management
We provide quarterly reports, and we don’t make claims without proof. Through our proprietary web-based platform ECHOS 2.0©, we track impact metrics, ensuring transparency for investors, regulators, and, most importantly, the communities we serve.
03
Exits that leave a legacy
Our responsibility doesn’t end when we divest. We ensure that the businesses we invest in remain resilient, delivering sustainable financial and social outcomes long after our capital moves on.
Go beyond with us
Many investors seek just to ‘avoid harm’, which means that they don’t invest in certain sectors like fossil fuels, weapons or tobacco.
Incofin goes beyond simply avoiding harm. We vigorously take measures to benefit our stakeholders and actively contribute to solutions.
