Investment philosophy

Our investment approach is long-term, impact driven, and combines commercial discipline with a strong local presence.

Our strategy is collaborative – we co-invest with private investors, development finance institutions (DFIs) and institutional partners.

We offer a tailored mix of equity and debt, always guided by impact creation as our primary criteria. An attractive investment for Impact Fund Denmark combines impact and financial returns – a wind farm increasing MWh output, simultaneously increase returns and access to green energy.
