Investment thesis

HIP Investor focuses on ESG and impact investing, offering quantitative sustainability ratings intended to help investors fund human, social, and environmental solutions while pursuing optimal risk-adjusted returns. The firm provides ratings and data that measure future risk, return, and impact; designs and manages higher-impact investment strategies aimed at higher financial returns with lower risk; and advises institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals on portfolio construction by analyzing the human impact of their holdings. Its Impact Investing Portal helps investors identify low- or negative-impact holdings and find replacement investments aligned with a changing economy.
