North Sky Capital
A pioneer in impact investing with market-rate returns paired with measurable environmental and social good.
North Sky Capital is one of the longest-tenured impact investing firms in the market. Founded in 2000, it seeks to create positive social and environmental impact while generating strong financial returns by investing in companies, private equity funds, and infrastructure projects that make the world a better place. We are an investor in North Sky's Clean Growth strategy, part of the impact-oriented core of our real assets allocation.
Why we invested
Caring for creation and creating dignified work are both central to our vision of human flourishing. North Sky lets us pursue them together, through a manager with a 25-year track record of proving that impact and market-rate returns are not a trade-off.
North Sky was an early mover in a space now crowded with newcomers, which matters: impact investing rewards experience, discipline, and the relationships built over decades. Its work spans the sectors most consequential for a habitable, healthy world including clean and climate technology, waste and water, sustainable food and agriculture, and healthy living, while its infrastructure strategy funds clean power and grid efficiency projects that also create high-quality green jobs. That combination of environmental stewardship and dignified work is exactly the kind of one-pocket investment we look for.
What North Sky does
North Sky invests through two complementary strategies:
Impact Secondaries — acquiring private equity secondary positions in cleantech/climatech, waste and water, sustainable food and agriculture, and healthy living, seeking attractive returns alongside measurable impact.
Sustainable Infrastructure — investing in environmental infrastructure, clean power, and grid and efficiency projects that pair financial gains with demonstrable environmental impact and high-quality green jobs.
North Sky is recognized as an ImpactAssets 50 (2026) manager and publishes annual impact reporting to hold its work accountable to measurable outcomes.
Why it matters to us
North Sky extends our stewardship of capital into the stewardship of creation by funding the clean infrastructure and sustainable businesses a flourishing future depends on, while generating the returns that keep a mission-driven portfolio strong. Backing an experienced, impact-first manager is how we put conviction behind the transition to a healthier, more sustainable economy.
