Investment advisory service expanded by Phenix into a new venture
In the ever-evolving world of impact investment, PCG Impact, a separate business launched by Phenix Capital Group, continues to make strides. The firm's mission is to empower investors globally, enabling them to integrate mission-aligned impact investment strategies into their portfolios, delivering both financial returns and significant social and environmental impact at scale.
PCG Impact recently announced the acquisition of a care home under development in Espoo, Finland. This strategic move aims to help meet the growing demand for aged care beds and modernize the current stock in the region. The new care home, expected to be completed in 2026, will feature 57 modern care beds, including 31 intensive care beds and 26 communal living units. The property will be highly rated for energy efficiency and will include solar panels and geothermal heating.
Meanwhile, Spain's Impact Bridge has achieved a significant milestone with the close of its IB Deuda Impacto España fund, having obtained over €147m in commitments. The fund, launched in 2023, is focused on funding projects generating positive social and environmental impact through debt financing. This development consolidates Impact Bridge's commitment to impact investing, particularly in Spain.
Northern Horizon, an experienced player in the care and senior housing sector, has expanded its care home portfolio with the acquisition. With over 160 investments into care and senior housing assets since 2007, Northern Horizon's focus on sustainability is evident, with additional investments requiring alignment with the current portfolio and meeting high sustainability requirements, including net zero carbon operations by 2030.
PCG Impact, as a dedicated point of contact for all advisory services, will provide a deeper advisory expertise. The firm, which serves a broad clientele including pension funds, insurance companies, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, and large family offices, operates as a global hub based in Amsterdam, bridging capital and impact across asset classes worldwide.
In a collaborative effort, GIST Impact, in partnership with the UK's Natural History Museum, is integrating a biodiversity index developed by the museum into its nature and biodiversity solutions. This integration allows investors and corporates to better understand and manage nature-related risks.
Phenix Capital Group, with its new venture PCG Impact, is poised to become a significant player in the impact investment landscape. The firm plans to strengthen its team with strategic appointments to meet the growth ambitions of PCG Impact.
