About us
Founded in 1993, fama re.capital is an independent asset manager and a certified B Corporation, dedicated to redefining the role of investments in building a sustainable future. Our pioneering approach seeks to balance strong financial returns with the generation of tangible benefits for society and the environment, recognizing that economic value must be created in an inclusive and responsible way.
By developing innovative products, we focus on investments that not only deliver solid financial results but also address urgent demands for social and environmental solutions. We believe that today’s challenges—from climate change to social inequality—require a fundamental reassessment of how capital is allocated. Our strategies are designed to do just that: to find opportunities where economic growth aligns with social and environmental progress.
More than simply providing capital, we act as strategic partners to the companies and projects in which we invest, helping them navigate and thrive in an increasingly complex business environment. Our commitment is to creating lasting value, using a lens that considers the full impact of our actions—from strengthening sustainable business practices to promoting innovations that transform entire industries.
We understand that the future of investing lies in the convergence of profit and purpose. Our solutions are designed for investors who seek more than financial returns; they seek to be part of a meaningful shift that sets new standards for success. In a rapidly changing world, we believe that capital must be a catalyst for progress that is shared by all.
At fama re.capital, we are committed to leading this new era of responsible investing, where profitability and social responsibility go hand in hand, creating a positive legacy for future generations.
We are a B Corporation
As one of just 74 asset managers worldwide to obtain this certification, and as part of a global community of companies that use the power of business for good, this achievement strengthens our mission to promote responsible investments and generate positive impact for society and the environment,aligning our operations with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and redefining success in the business world.
