Zamo provides its investors access to impact managers
Zamo’s Pipeline of European Impact Managers
A challenge faced by many investors looking to invest in impact is the absence of managers able to accept a €30m+ cheque whilst ensuring that the investment is no more that 15% of the fund.
By investing in Zamo, our investors can obtain a front row seat and observe how our managers mature over time. We provide investors 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).
Investors 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.
