Social impact investor surpasses £100m in capital raised

By Kirsten Hastings, 19 Feb 16

Capital raised by clients of UK-based social impact investment intermediary ClearySo surpassed £100m ($143.2m, €128.7m) this month, with £60m coming directly from the company’s network of institutional and high-net-worth individual investors.

Capital raised by clients of UK-based social impact investment intermediary ClearySo surpassed £100m ($143.2m, €128.7m) this month, with £60m coming directly from the company’s network of institutional and high-net-worth individual investors.

ClearlySo works with high-impact socially- and environmentally-minded businesses, charities and funds; supporting their capital raising activities through financial advisory work.

It also introduces them to institutional and individual investors who share their objectives and values.

Since it was founded in 2008, the company has helped more than 75 businesses and funds raise money through a broad spectrum of financing using equity, debt, and quasi-equity instruments, and capital raises ranging from £50,000 to more than £10m.

Surpassing the £100m milestone follows on the back of a strong end to 2015, which saw a record £31m of capital raised by ClearlySo’s clients.

Rodney Schwartz, chief executive and founder of ClearlySo, said: “The world is changing, as entrepreneurs and investors focus on the impact of their investments.”
