Founded in 1993, fama re.capital is an independent asset manager committed to an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy that generates value for all parties.
Founded in 1993, fama re.capital is an independent asset management firm and a certified B Corporation, dedicated to redefining the role of investments in building a sustainable future. Our pioneering approach seeks to balance robust 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 manner.
In developing innovative products, we focus on investments that not only deliver solid financial results but also address urgent demands for socio-environmental solutions. We believe that contemporary challenges—from climate change to social inequalities—require a fundamental reevaluation of how capital is allocated. Our strategies aim to do just that: identify opportunities where economic growth aligns with social and environmental progress.
More than simply providing capital, we work 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 create lasting value, using a lens that considers the full impact of our actions, from strengthening sustainable business practices to promoting innovations that transform entire sectors.
We understand that the future of investments lies in the convergence of profit and purpose. Our solutions are designed for investors who seek more than financial returns; they want to be part of a significant change that sets new standards of 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 investments, where profitability and social responsibility go hand in hand, creating a positive legacy for future generations.
We are a B Corp!
As one of only 74 asset managers in the world to achieve the certification and as part of a global community of companies that use the power of business for good, this achievement reinforces 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.
