What we know about the UK’s new sovereign wealth fund, and what we don’t. From government statements about the National Wealth Fund over the past few days, it is clear the new organisation will focus on decarbonisation, and that it will “bring together key institutions” including the British Business Bank and UK Infrastructure Bank. What is less clear the way these partnerships will work, and how “green” projects need to be to benefit. Similarly, for the many beneficiaries of BBB / British Patient Capital funding, for those firms without explicitly green strategies, will they be barred from accessing funding? At a time when it is incredibly difficult for small and mid sized companies and funds to raise capital, in the UK and globally, this initiative will be very welcome for green funds and companies and met with caution by the many sectors who won’t stand to benefit. #uk #fundraising #alternatives #privateequity #emergingmanagers British Emerging Manager Institute (BEMI)

We are still applauding Invest Appalachia, beloved veterans of our Connect Capital Initiative, after they successfully concluded fundraising efforts for the Invest Appalachia Fund, securing a remarkable $35.5 million! The Invest Appalachia Fund is designed to provide flexible, community-first impact investment, complementing the existing community finance system and reaching persistently under-resourced populations across Central Appalachia. This incredible achievement includes significant commitments from national and regional investors, with 80% of the funds coming from outside Appalachia, bringing much-needed mission-aligned capital to this historically underinvested region. This milestone is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision for a more equitable and resilient Central Appalachia. Congratulations to Invest Appalachia for helping to pave the way for a brighter future in their community. #ConnectCapital #InvestAppalachia #ImpactInvesting #communitydevelopment #climateresilience #Equity#CommunityWealthBuilding

There are typically two main investment paths: the National Transformation Fund or Approved Real Estate Projects. Can you guess the key differences between these two options? The National Transformation Fund is a direct government contribution that allows you to apply for citizenship while basically donating your money, while real estate investments often cost a little more but can provide additional benefits like property ownership, return-on-investment. annual visits, and divestment options. The misconception that one has a faster processing time than the other is not true. Tandem Citizenship can help you evaluate which option best fits your specific needs and goals.

Structure Climate pools charitable capital into low-cost loans for climate project financing, accelerating a company’s path to commercial maturity. If you have appreciated assets, charitable deductions can provide similar or better tax benefits than tax loss harvesting. When the loans are paid back, they get recycled into more climate projects — you get the tax benefit immediately and your capital stays working in climate. Real projects. Real impact. We don’t have time for anything else. hello@structureclimate.com for more info.
