Discovering Impact Managers

Discovery

Zamo supports its LPs to discover impact managers

Through our theme-based deal origination approach, Zamo identifies cutting edge themes in impact investing. These include advanced plastics recycling, blue economy, affordable housing and the future of work.

LPs will get to know new impact managers they have not come across that have the potential to scale beyond €1bn. This will include impact managers that may not yet be on the radar as impact managers.

Zamo’s Pipeline of European Impact Managers

# European Impact Managers we have engaged with so far

A challenge faced by many LPs looking to invest in impact is the absence of managers able to accept a €30m+ cheque whilst ensuring that the LP is no more that 15% of the fund.

By investing in Zamo, our LPs can obtain a front-row seat and observe how our managers mature over time. We provide our LPs who may wish to invest in Zamo’s underlying managers with performance data over time as opposed to a curated snapshot of performance (when they are fundraising).

LPs can use their front row seat to put them in a better position to get an allocation in the most successful of Zamo’s investee managers when they raise their next funds.

Risk Mitigation

Reducing the commercial and reputational risk of investing in impact managers

Zamo works with LPs to reduce commercial & impact washing risk

Commercial Risk

We are hands-on aligned investors, with a history of success in scaling impact fund managers. We partner and work intensively with a small number of impact managers (8-10) to increase the chance of success and minimize their chance of failures.

Green Washing risk

Zamo conducts a rigorous assessment before we invest to ensure that the manager meets our criteria for genuine impact.
We work with LPs to help align their impact assessment and ours.
By investing through us, LPs have the ability to watch the fund manager over time to ensure that they have the kind of impact that the LP is looking for.
