Episode notes

What does it look like when billion-dollar funds put impact at the core of their investment strategy? In this 3-in-1 compilation episode, we revisit conversations with investors managing tens of billions across public fixed income, public equities, private equity, and impact-focused real estate. Each one makes the case that environmental and social outcomes aren’t a tradeoff - but a source of lasting value and market-beating returns. Meet the leaders turning billions into measurable impact: Michele Giddens, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridges Fund Management Bridges was launched in 2002 with £40 million - including just £10 million in catalytic capital. Today, it manages over £2 billion across private equity, impact real estate, and outcomes contracts. From the start, its mission has been to invest in solutions that drive both a more inclusive economy and a more sustainable planet - ideally, both at once. Michele describes their theory of change simply: addressing systemic social and environmental challenges isn’t a tradeoff - it’s a way to unlock high-performing markets.
