About Impax
Founded in 1998 and with approximately 100 investment professionals within listed equities, fixed income and private markets, Impax Asset Management (Impax)* is one of the largest specialist investors focused on the transition to a more sustainable economy.
Across investment portfolios, Impax seeks to invest in higher quality companies with strong business models and governance, that demonstrate sound management of risk whilst being able to adapt intelligently to changing conditions. Impax offers a well-rounded suite of investment solutions to global investors, spanning multiple asset classes seeking superior risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long-term.
In April 2021, Fidante became distribution partner for Impax in Australia and New Zealand.
Approach
Impax believes strong investment returns can be generated by investors who better understand the opportunities and risks associated with forces shaping the future, including resource constraints, policy and regulation, technological innovation, and evolving social trends.
These trends are reshaping capital markets: driving growth for well-positioned companies and creating risks for those unable or unwilling to adapt.
Impax's investment approach seeks out high-quality companies and issuers with enduring business models and sound risk management, aiming to deliver strong outcomes for clients over the medium to long term.
Our Funds
ESG
Impax aspires to best practices across all aspects of the management of its listed and private equity investments. Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) considerations are embedded within our rigorous ten step investment process for listed equities. Failure by a company to reach the required ESG score will prevent our investment.
Resources
Team
Impax’s highly experienced, multi-disciplinary team has grown organically since inception. The team is made up of individuals with diverse backgrounds, bringing together complementary skills and experience which adds depth to the investment process.
