Cambridge Associates
Pioneers With the Scale to Drive Change
We believe that clients do not have to choose between long-term portfolio returns and positive real-world impact. By building sustainable and solutions-oriented portfolios today, we aim to deliver resilient, future-proof portfolios tomorrow.
Impact Investing at CA
Our sustainable & impact investing (SII) team is well embedded in our global research platform to source and evaluate sustainability, impact, and manager diversity across all asset classes. We also have environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing and diversity factors built into our firm-wide research platform.
*As of June 30, 2023. The number of managers and investments shown includes client-directed investments where Cambridge Associates has not conducted full investment evaluation.
Client Spotlights
Our ability to customize portfolios to specific impact and objectives is core to our process. Our clients own their portfolios, and therefore, own their impact.
We are committed to building a deep partnership with you to understand your goals and values. This approach, combined with our experienced team, global research capabilities, leadership, and industry influence allow us to build you a portfolio that precisely targets the impact themes most aligned with your priorities.
Our Net Zero Commitment
Since our first report on the topic in 2016, we have shared with our clients a number of research reports helping them understand the importance of the topic and how they might respond in their investment planning and implementation.
In 2021, we chose to become a signatory of the Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative (NZICI). This progress report details the steps we have taken to integrate net zero across our firm and where we still need to make progress.
Chavon Sutton, Senior Investment Director of Sustainable & Impact Investing Research, joined Bloomberg Radio to discuss Climate Week and Cambridge Associates’ green initiatives.
