About Us
Value² is Israel’s pioneer ‘Responsible Investment’ house. Established in early 2019, Value² offers managed funds invested in balanced portfolios of high performing, publicly traded companies with superior company behavior and risk management (ESG), and which also address pressing global needs with high growth potential (SDG).
The outcome — a fossil-free investment house with measurable impact that is consistently performing above standard benchmarks, together with a commitment to strong financial returns.
Impact Investing in the Public Equity Arena
A discussion about impact investing usually refers to initiatives, projects and private companies focused on tangible direct impact. However, these types of investments can be long term, illiquid and often quite risky, and sometimes with the expectation of concessionary returns. As a result, more than 75% of the wealth of these investors is directed towards public equity and bonds, often with little regard to impact, or in products that don’t deliver significant impact.
How can we create superior, measurable impact in the significant asset class of public equity without compromising on financial returns?
We are proud to have received the B Corporation certification
