Why Deliberate

Impact shouldn't be a byproduct of investing.

/dəˈlib(ə)rət/ — done consciously and intentionally.

That idea is why we created Deliberate Capital – to move beyond treating environmental and social considerations simply as risks to be mitigated, or inherent in a temporary business model. We believe capital should be deployed with the intention to make change, and therefore reflected in the investment thesis, the capital structure, and the incentives that reward the company and management over time.

We look for situations where capital and active partnership can help businesses adopt more responsible practices, strengthen their interaction with people and nature, and create durable financial value. In other words, impact is not something measured only as an afterthought; rather, impact and financial value are created as a significant deviation from business as usual.
