On a mission to accelerate the allocation of capital to a sustainable future
We’re Impact Cubed
%20(2).jpg)
Founded two decades ago, Impact Cubed has transformed from a hedge fund into a pioneer in ESG investment.
Impact Cubed bridges the gap in factual, granular ESG data and investment solutions by leveraging quantitative strategies and machine learning. This turns ESG data into actionable insights, enabling sustainable investing without compromising returns or assuming undue risk.
Impact Cubed was founded on the belief that effective capital allocation can address global challenges. This conviction, combined with extensive asset management experience and an understanding of existing sustainable investment limitations, drove the creation of pioneering tools and methodologies. Our strategy delivers data-driven solutions to align capital with a sustainable future, challenging the notion that impact investing sacrifices financial performance.
