One of the largest mission-aligned firms in the world, Capricorn Investment Group was born from a belief that sustainable investment practices can enhance risk-adjusted returns. Underlying this investment approach is a deep desire to demonstrate the huge investment potential that resides in breakthrough commercial solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. With offices in New York City and Palo Alto, the firm has grown to manage more than $10 billion in multi-asset class portfolios for families, foundations and institutional investors.
We guide affluent Black and Brown households towards building and sustaining wealth in a values-aligned fashion. We show them how to leverage their income to build wealth for themselves and future generations while doing good in the world.
Our team takes these trailblazing households from a confused, overwhelmed, and lonely position to an abundant, intentional and clear path towards their wealthy financial future.
Our goal is to become the preeminent Black-owned wealth management firm and meaningfully contribute to closing the racial wealth gap. We want to break down systemic barriers between the wealthy, privileged and the rest of us. By opening up access to wealth-building tools and access to world-class financial advice, we aim to end the days of minority households being underserved and ignored. Our firm believes deeply in the power of the dollar, therefore we want to make sure more of the dollars rest with us.

What do we mean by sustainability? We define sustainability as positive longevity, and sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In order to tackle the challenge of sustainable development, both developed and developing countries will have to shift from a resource-intensive, consumption-driven, debt-dependent model of development and growth towards a more sustainable one. This means using natural and financial resources wisely and in a way that promotes long-term economic, social and personal wellbeing. How do we apply this idea to investment? We take a bottom-up, company-focused approach to sustainable investment. We look for good quality companies (management, franchise and financials) that are well positioned to meet the challenge of sustainable development and contribute towards achieving it in the countries in which they operate, be they developed or developing. We have a strong conviction that such companies face fewer risks and are better placed to deliver positive long term returns to shareholders. The investment objective of our sustainability funds is to generate attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns for our clients by investing in companies involved in sustainable goods and services, responsible finance and required infrastructure. We are not passive investors. We recognise there is no such thing as a perfect company and believe positive engagement plays an important part in improving shareholder value and protecting the value of our client portfolios over the long-term. We engage actively with company management on a wide range of issues including alignment of interests, governance, reputation, strategy and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. What do we not mean by sustainable investment? We do not screen in clean tech or green-themed companies, nor do we screen out particular sectors and companies on moral or ethical grounds. Although we do not do any formal negative screening, we are unlikely to invest in companies operating in high risk sectors such as gambling and tobacco because their long-term sustainability positioning is poor.
