LGT Capital Partners has launched its first public equities impact strategy, positioning listed markets as a critical complement to private markets in addressing global social and environmental challenges, according to a report by Impact Investor.
The Article 9 LGT CP Impact Equity Global Fund will invest in 25–40 companies aligned with themes such as climate action, sustainable industry and healthcare. The strategy will apply the same impact framework used in the firm’s private equity impact programmes.
LGT said public equities offer impact potential that private markets cannot unlock alone. Eligible companies must demonstrate a net positive contribution toward UN Sustainable Development Goals and align with sectors including decarbonisation, resource management, inclusive growth, and health.
