Guardiãm’s funds will combine traditional and philanthropic sources of capital, and be managed by separate but integrated teams.

Its private equity arm will screen and invest in companies and projects that provide commercial returns while adhering to strict social and environmental guidelines (see investment criteria)

Its sustainable development arm will make investments in social and environmental activities that integrate with the investments made by the private equity arm.

We believe that this integration is essential to ensure the viability of our portfolios, reducing risk, creating an enabling environment and contributing to the sustainable development of the region.

The two investment arms will be guided by a governance structure aimed at representing both commercial and philanthropic objectives Integrating Investments with Sustainability
