Pioneers

Over 30 years of ESG Sustainable Impact investing

Our ESG Impact investing journey began when our Founder, Stephen George, was asked to design a commercially-driven and pioneering sustainability focused investment strategy in 2002 by Jeff Skoll, the first President of eBay.

As the head of Capricorn, Stephen led the firm to become a globally respected leader in pursuing mega-theme investment opportunities, combining attractive investment returns with positive impacts for our planet and people.
