Impact Ventures UK (IVUK) is an award winning £36 million impact investment fund. It was launched by LGT Impact in association with Berenberg and with a cornerstone investment from Big Society Capital. IVUK’s diverse investor base includes UK and European institutional investors, asset owners and private clients, reflecting the appeal of the fund across different sources of capital. It is one of the first social impact funds to attract investment from a UK local authority pension fund.
IVUK invests in enterprises that create long-term social impact for disadvantaged people and communities in the UK as well as generate a financial return. We hope to realise the full potential of our investees, extending their reach beyond our investment and closing critical social gaps in the country for generations to come.
