THE ROLE OF NATURE IN A PORTFOLIO

A 2% allocation to Nature 

to safeguard 98% of assets

If every UK pension and wealth asset invested just 2% of its capital, it would generate an estimated £100 billion for Nature-based investment. This allocation targets long-term, stable income where performance is shaped by the demand for ecosystem services rather than market cycles. Ultimately, investing in natural infrastructure reduces physical, regulatory, and reputational risks, which enhances overall portfolio resilience

THE FOUR RETURNS FRAMEWORK

Our approach is measured against four types of return:

  • Financial

    Predictable, risk-adjusted
    performance for investors.

  • Natural

    Healthier ecosystems, improved biodiversity, and restored 
landscapes.

  • Social

    Social – stronger communities, job creation, and enhanced wellbeing.

  • Inspirational

    Renewed trust, pride, and purpose for stakeholders

This elevates Nature from being seen as philanthropy to an institutional-grade asset class: scarce, useful, and cash-generating
