Our services

Collington Capital originates impact investment opportunities for investors to match their ‘finance first’ or ‘impact first’ investment strategy, and raises commercial and concessionary investment capital from professional investors in the United Kingdom for a select group of impact fund managers and impact-led enterprises. The firm builds long-term relationships connecting professional investors with a curated group of emerging and established fund managers and impact-led enterprises, in emerging and frontier markets, across a range of strategies aligned with Collington Capital’s own impact goals. The primary focus is Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia and Latin America.

Collington Capital helps grantors, investors and fund managers develop the frameworks and tools which will enable them to integrate impact into their business model and investment strategy and operations. The firm works with grantors to help them scale their impact by moving beyond grant making to social and commercial impact investment aligned with their impact goals. The firm enables investors to develop their capability to manage, measure and report on impact. For impact fund managers, the firm advises on designing, structuring and marketing the impact aspects of new funds.

Collington Capital enables impact-led organisations, including commercial businesses, social enterprises and charities, to access new sources of impact capital, often from a combination of philanthropic funding and impact investment. The work involves building their impact investment readiness, developing financial and impact models, creating blueprints for deliverable and compelling high-level impact investment propositions, market-testing investment propositions, structuring investment vehicles and raising grant funding and impact investment. Collington Capital connects organisations with impact capital from grant funders and impact investors often transforming funding models.

Collington Capital works with corporate and charitable grantors and substantial donors to conceive, develop and raise philanthropic funding and investment capital for pioneering blended finance impact investment solutions. These blended finance arrangements enable grant funding to catalyse concessionary and commercial investment capital into impact-led enterprises, thereby driving the delivery of social impact aligned with the funder’s and Collington Capital’s impact goals. The group’s not-for-profit foundation supports the co-creation and administration of pooled blended finance vehicles which enable funding of otherwise sub-scale programmes.
