Impact as a duty
Institutional investors increasingly consider investment impact as a fiduciary duty.
Good returns
We believe impact investing can achieve market rates of return or better over the long term.
Of 2000+ studies since the 1970s, 63% find positive link between ESG & financial performance.

Rigour
A rigorous approach to fundamental analysis, due diligence, and impact measurement uncovers impact investments that avoid greenwashing.
Strategy
We believe a global multi-asset class strategy optimizes a portfolio’s impact and risk adjusted returns.
OUR methods
provoking the market
Call us provocative, please
At Rally we are provoking the market to act in a manner consistent with achieving the SDGs. We provoke change in several ways.
Growing the capital pool
Growing the capital pool available to under-subscribed, impact-aligned assets through strategies focused on under-resourced sectors poised for growth due to shifts in socio-political demand, and/or focused on high impact, high risk solutions to achieving the SDGs
Engaging actively
Engaging actively with fund managers, and indirectly, with underlying assets, on material ESG issues that relate to product, service or operations
Partnering
Partnering to build the field of impact investing to develop data-driven tools, resources and standards and to develop and support new impact investing solutions
Providing flexible capital
Providing flexible capital to enable catalytic, high-impact, high-risk, or small-scale solutions to be developed and brought to market
Signalling
Allocating capital to signal to the market that impact is important, by directing capital to investments that have impact-aligned business models and operations, or that have committed to strategies that lever existing operations and expertise to develop SDG-aligned businesses
Managing impact
Managing impact to continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of impact generation, minimize negative outcomes and optimize impact creation within financial return and risk factors
Publishing
Publishing impact asset management analysis, observations and experience and participating in speaking engagements and panels to advocate for the field of impact investing
