PCG Impact Expands Its Reach in Impact Investment

In a significant move, PCG Impact, the dedicated impact investment advisory services arm of Phenix Capital Group, has announced several new developments. Launched in July 2025, PCG Impact is now handling impact strategy design, impact manager selection, and impact portfolio management for various investors [1].

One of the key recent acquisitions made by PCG Impact is a new care home under development in the Finnish city of Espoo. This property, expected to be completed in 2026, will boast 57 modern care beds, including 31 intensive care beds and 26 communal living units [1]. The new care home, like the two existing facilities in Finland that were bought by the fund in May, will be highly rated for energy efficiency, featuring solar panels and geothermal heating [1].

Phenix Capital Group, the parent company, aims for net zero carbon operations by 2030. This commitment to sustainability is evident in their investment strategies, as demonstrated by the acquisitions made by PCG Impact.

Meanwhile, Northern Horizon, a leading Nordic real estate and private equity company, has been active in the care and senior housing sector. Since 2007, they have made over 160 investments in this area [1]. Northern Horizon has also invested in 66 care homes across Sweden and Finland through its fifth healthcare fund [1].

On the international front, Spain's ImpactBridge has closed its IB Deuda Impacto España fund, securing over €147m in commitments. This fund, the largest impact-focused fund in Spain, will undoubtedly contribute to ImpactBridge's mission of promoting sustainable and inclusive growth [1].

Another notable collaboration is between GIST Impact and the UK's Natural History Museum. GIST Impact is integrating a biodiversity index developed by the museum into its nature and biodiversity solutions. The Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) is claimed to be the most scientifically robust measure of ecosystem health [1]. Using BII allows investors and corporates to more effectively screen assets for biodiversity risks across global operations.

As PCG Impact continues to grow, Phenix Capital Group plans to strengthen its team with strategic appointments to meet the further growth ambitions of PCG Impact [1]. This expansion reflects the firm's commitment to combining financial returns with positive impact, a mission that has seen them manage over €1 billion towards impact investments linked to various asset classes, impact themes, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals [1].

The Aged Care Social Infrastructure Fund, launched in 2024, is another testament to the growing trend of impact investment in the care sector [1]. As PCG Impact continues to lead the way in impact investment advisory services, it provides a dedicated point of contact for all its advisory services, enabling deeper advisory expertise [1].
