Althelia Sustainable Ocean Fund (“SOF” or the “Fund”) creates investor value and social impact by providing growth capital to companies that harness the ocean’s natural capital. We invest in scalable businesses in the real asset sector that build resilience in coastal ecosystems and create sustainable economic growth and livelihoods. The fund is building a blended portfolio of sustainable seafood, circular economy and conservation focussed businesses. In addition to strong financial returns, the fund’s investments deliver substantial positive conservation impacts to the ocean and coastal habitats. The Fund implements innovative financial approaches such as performance-based payments and advance market commitments. SOF benefits from a sovereign shared risk guarantee and significant institutional co-investment.
