Description
The Conscious Investment Management Impact Fund is an impact investment fund that is focused on generating market rate risk-adjusted returns by investing in assets that have a positive and measurable social and/or environmental impact. As set out in the Fund's Impact Investment Policy, the Fund's approach to impact investment is incorporated into each stage of its investment process to ensure that all investments have a positive and measurable social and/or environment impact.

The Fund focusses on assessing ESG and impact risks inherent in an investment. 3. Investment Phase 2 - Investment Committee briefing and further due diligence. The Fund reports on ESG and impact risks and considerations as a core part of its Investment Committee process. 4. Investment Phase 3 - Investment Committee approval, deal execution, and ongoing monitoring.
