Our investments

Our portfolio is built upon a series of core principles that we believe are the foundation for the Next Economy – ecology, wholeness, connection and equality. These principles inform our perspectives, guide our decision making and shape the way we choose to invest.

Ecology: Our investments seek to protect the natural world. We focus on biodiversity, stable climate, clean water, clean air and healthy soil.

Wholeness: Our portfolio supports an integration of our whole selves – the masculine and feminine, the emotional and rational, the intuitive and intellectual. 
Connection: We are drawn to connect to the food we eat, the places we live, the work we do and the people we care for. The deepest expression of human connection is love, and it is this love that guides us.

Equality: We support initiatives that promote equal rights, opportunities, and treatment for all individuals regardless of class, gender, race, identity or faith.

Investment Portfolio

In the emerging Next Economy we envision, there are multiple interdependent systems simultaneously evolving and co-existing. Currently, we focus our investments in the following:
