Investment advisory service expands into a new commercial sphere: Phenix stepping in
PCG Impact Launches to Empower Sustainable Investments
PCG Impact, a new business launched by Phenix Capital Group on July 9, 2025, is focusing on investment advisory services related to impact investing. The mission of PCG Impact is to empower investors to integrate mission-aligned impact investment strategies into their portfolios, aiming to generate both measurable social and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns.
By operating as an independent entity, PCG Impact provides a dedicated point of contact for all advisory services. This structural separation allows PCG Impact to focus exclusively on impact investment advisory, strengthening its capacity to serve investors interested in sustainable and impact-driven investments.
PCG Impact integrates impact investment strategies by designing tailored impact investment strategies aligned with clients' missions, selecting appropriate impact investment managers, managing impact-focused portfolios, and applying expertise in impact measurement and management to support investor goals. This approach ensures impact investing is embedded systematically within client portfolios, reinforcing Phenix Capital Group's commitment to blending financial performance with positive societal and environmental contributions.
Meanwhile, Spain's ImpactBridge has closed its IB Deuda Impacto España fund, having obtained over €147m in commitments. The fund's investments include Modare, a textile-reuse network, ILUNION Hotels fostering accessible tourism and inclusive employment, tuTECHÔ providing affordable-housing for vulnerable groups, Fundeen providing access to renewable-energy financing, and Ecoalf, a circular fashion and responsible consumption organisation.
Elsewhere, Northern Horizon, an asset manager with more than 160 investments into care and senior housing assets since 2007, has invested in a care home under development in the Finnish city of Espoo, which is expected to be completed in 2026. The property will be highly rated for energy efficiency, featuring solar panels and geothermal heating. Jussi Rouhento, Northern Horizon's head of Finland, stated that the asset manager had evaluated "a significant pipeline of opportunities".
GIST Impact, a collaboration between Phenix Capital Group and the UK's Natural History Museum, is integrating the Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII), a widely recognized measure of ecosystem health, into its nature and biodiversity solutions. The Aged Care Social Infrastructure Fund, launched in 2024, has invested in 66 care homes across Sweden and Finland.
PCG Impact's role includes handling impact strategy design, impact manager selection, and impact portfolio management. The company aims to strengthen its team with strategic appointments to meet the further growth ambitions of PCG Impact.
