About Candide Group:
Candide Group directs capital into innovative impactful vehicles that support a transition away from an extractive global economy to one that is built upon values of social justice and sustainability. We support families, foundations, and other investors who want to flow their money into social justice-focused companies, funds, and vital organizations building that new economy. As a Registered Investment Advisor, we focus on private assets — debt, private equity, real assets, and innovative new structures — where there are both real capital needs and opportunities for mission-aligned investors to build impactful portfolios. We recognize that achieving our values will require an intense reorganization of society, and thus the pursuit of multiple strategies for change — in addition to our core line of work, pursuing transformative impact through investing, we also work with partner organizations to help them better align their money and values, and maintain a thriving presence in media to affect change.
The past few years have been an exciting time of growth and development for Candide Group, and since inception we have directed over $200MM into more than 110 companies and funds. Candide is also proud of our internal diversity, with over half of our portfolio led by people of color and women. We live the same strong commitment to equity and inclusion that we advocate to our investors.
