It provides state-of-the art portfolio and risk management services to third-party investment managers and advisors investing in private equity and private debt with the purpose to create intentional, sustainable and measurable social and environmental impact.

“Our AIFM services build on our 12 years’ expertise in providing structuring, management and investment support services for impact finance vehicles investing in sectors such as microfinance and SME finance, renewable energy and energy efficiency, agriculture and conservation and making a meaningful contribution to the achievement of the sustainable development goals”, says Patrick Goodman.

“With Innpact Fund Management, we add a corner stone to our overall service offering, that will provide increased added value for innovative impact advisors and managers, investing in a wide range of geographies. Thus, we also support the further development of the impact finance expertise and experience present in Luxembourg since more than a decade”, says Corinne Molitor, who joined Innpact three years ago after a career of more than 20 years in the Luxembourg banking industry.

Corinne, who is a Partner at Innpact, together with Patrick and Arnaud, leads a number of sustainable, climate and microfinance initiatives in Luxembourg. She is furthermore one of the three Conducting Officers of Innpact Fund Management, together with Michael White, Conducting Officer Portfolio Management and Rosa López Pérez, Conducting Officer Risk Management.
