Capital as a catalyst for transformation.

Businesses operate in an environment shaped by structural change. Climate pressures, resource constraints, technological disruption and evolving regulatory expectations are redefining how value is created and sustained. We believe investors have a responsibility to contribute to this transition.

Creating measurable outcomes through active ownership.

Our investment strategies are designed to address specific challenges through active ownership, long-term partnerships and measurable outcomes. Across Private Equity Mid-Market, Private Equity Lower Mid-Market and Venture Capital, we deploy capital with a common objective: supporting transformation that strengthens businesses, scales solutions and creates long-term value.

Each of our investment strategies is supported by a dedicated Theory of Change. These frameworks define the challenges we seek to address, the contribution we make as investors and the outcomes we aim to achieve through our investments.

We believe capital can change the trajectory of businesses, enabling them to scale their impact, strengthen their resilience and create lasting value.

Three strategies. Three distinct outcomes.

While each strategy focuses on different sectors, business models and stages of maturity, all are grounded in the same conviction: capital can change the trajectory of businesses.

01, Mid-Market
01

Transforming portfolio companies into sustainability leaders.

As Private Equity investors taking controlling positions, we contribute to long-term value creation by helping companies integrate sustainability as a core of their strategy and strengthen their competitive position.

Through active ownership, we work alongside management teams to embed sustainability into governance, operations and decision-making, building future-ready organisations capable of managing sustainability risks and opportunities beyond our ownership period.

02, Lower Mid-Market
02

Scaling environmental enablers.

Through our Lower Mid-Market strategy, we invest in companies whose business models generate measurable environmental contribution from day one.

We focus on scaling businesses that enable environmental progress across sectors, through decarbonisation, circular economy and resource efficiency, and sustainable food systems. Accelerating the environmental transition requires scaling the companies that already provide the solutions.

03, Venture Capital
03

Advancing competitiveness through frontier software.

Through Abac Nest Ventures, we invest in early-stage companies developing AI-native and infrastructure-grade technologies.

We focus on software that modernises legacy systems, unlocks productivity, strengthens resilience and improves the efficiency of critical industries, supporting founders building technologies capable of generating systemic improvements across the economy.

Embedded throughout the investment lifecycle.

Sustainability considerations are integrated throughout the investment process, from sourcing and due diligence to ownership and exit. Our Responsible Investment framework helps identify risks, prioritise opportunities and support value creation across the portfolio.

01

Diligence

Structured ESG screening at every investment, with material findings escalated to the Investment Committee, sometimes as conditions to closing. We exclude sectors and practices that conflict with our values, including coal, controversial weapons and predatory lending.

02

Active ownership

Tailored sustainability KPIs at every Board, reviewed at every meeting and tied to the value creation plan and management incentives. We accompany management on decarbonisation roadmaps, governance upgrades and DEI plans where material.

03

Disclosure

SFDR-aligned funds and reporting. Our Capital Call Bridge Facility is linked to portfolio sustainability metrics, and our annual Sustainability Report is independently reviewed and aligned to PRI and SASB frameworks.

04

Global commitments

Aligned with internationally recognised frameworks, including B Corp, UN Global Compact, UN Principles for Responsible Investment, SFDR and TCFD, providing guidance, accountability and transparency as we strengthen our impact management.
