Better Finance. Improving Lives.

 Solutions

  •  IMPACT ADVISORY

    Better Finance works with clients to originate, design, implement and manage financial solutions through impact and mission-driven investing. We offer advice on direct investments, portfolio construction and asset allocation for achieving impact and return requirements across natural capital, real assets, agriculture, health, insurance and technology sectors, drawing on a network of specialists. We build impact frameworks to monitor and report ex-post investment.

  • ESG INTEGRATION

    Better Finance provides support to asset managers, first time funds, as well as established vehicles to overcome the hurdles unique to their business--whether learning how to speak and pitch to institutional investors requiring ESG screens and integrating impact criteria, writing ESG policies, preparing pitch decks and financial models, or marketing efficiently to recruit co-investors, advisors and board members.

  • BLENDED FINANCE

    By working with diverse stakeholders over the last decade, Better Finance has developed a particular ability to structure solutions driven by disparate risk-return requirements. Through dual-return funds, results-based financing portfolios, impact bonds, green bonds and blue bonds, we support the development of instruments suited to the pressing challenges at hand—whether conserving rhinos or eradicating cholera.
