Natural Capital Investment Alliance

Mobilising $10 Billion Towards Natural Capital Themes

NCIA members have plans to launch a range of closed ended (known target size) and open-ended (no fixed target size) fund strategies. The combination of the disclosed and targeted closed end funds of USD6.5 billion, current size of aligned open ended funds of USD0.9bn, together with the aggregate reasonable expectations for the future size of the 5 planned or developing and 1 already established open-ended funds gives us confidence on the NCIA mobilising more than USD 10 billion towards natural capital themes by the end of 2022.

The solutions devised by members will in many cases mobilise further investment by partners and debt providers. The members are aligned behind the NCIA principles and excited with the prospect of further increasing the scale of natural capital investment and the positive outcomes that this will translate to.

It is the intention to update the below information at the end of June 2022 and also at the end of December 2022 to showcase the progress of members.
