In 2020, we created our Sustainable & Impact Investing area with the goal of connecting global investors to sustainable investment opportunities in Latin America, generating positive social and environmental impacts, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and delivering consistent returns to our clients.
Today, we operate in three main areas: Sustainable Finance, Sustainable and Impact Funds, and Environmental Assets.
