About Us

Deliberate Capital was created with the goal of shifting investment dollars towards the creation of deliberate, additional impact. We believe that the market will increasingly reward companies that consider their social and environmental footprints. Many will require capital and partnership to transition to more responsible practices and adopt transformative strategies to interact sustainably with people and nature.

The team at Deliberate Capital created and serves as the fund manager for the Meloy Fund – a first-of-its-kind impact investment fund that deploys capital to support businesses in their transition to sustainability, and helps them engage responsibly in critical supply chains.

Investment Spotlight: The Meloy Fund

History

The Meloy Fund for Sustainable Community Fisheries* was born out of Rare, a global conservation organization with the mission to inspire change so people and nature thrive. The Meloy Fund was created with the recognition that the coastal marine ecosystem, relied upon by billions of people for food security, income, and climate resilience, is largely a neglected investment opportunity.

By investing into enterprises in the seafood and aquaculture sector that otherwise have limited access to capital, the Meloy Fund directly benefits coastal communities and the habitats on which their livelihoods depend.

Impact

Over 75% of small-scale, coastal fisheries are considered overfished or in collapse, while providing half the world’s fish catch, 90% of fishing sector jobs, and a key source of food and livelihoods for the world’s poorest citizens. Coastal habitats also contain critical coral reef and mangrove habitats, which help protect the most climate-vulnerable communities on the planet.

In addition to providing a reasonable financial return, through the provision of investment capital and technical assistance, the Meloy Fund is projected to benefit 100,000 coastal community members and improve the trajectory of 1.2 million hectares of coastal habitat towards sustainable use.

Partners

Our many investors and partners, including family offices, foundations, development and commercial banks, and corporations, provide a blend of investment capital, grant funding, and technical support towards the Meloy Fund’s goal of contributing to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and demonstrating the opportunity to invest sustainably on behalf of coastal communities and ecosystems.
