At a time in which global leaders struggle to find common ground in addressing global (climate) challenges, private investors are ready for action instead of blablabla. 

“Last year we called for change. Now we are thrilled to announce that the Wire Private Markets Fund closes at EUR 70m. We are pleased about our broad group of investors, ranging from experienced impact investors, successful entrepreneurs and investments professionals. We are excited that we also welcomed a group of next-generation investors into the fund who can take active part in the change they want to see” explains Ronald Janse, Fund Manager WPMF.

It is time to Regenerate!

The fund is creating a solid portfolio of 12 international private equity funds, focussed on Regeneration to e.g. increase biodiversity, reduce greenhouse gasses, improve health and equal participation in our society. WPMF has already committed to Eversource (Energy transition), TPG Rise II, Blue Horizon (Plant based Food), HealthQuad and Circularity Capital.

Multiple return: Impact, Financial return, and Personal Growth for our investors 

WPMF is ambitious in measuring multiple returns by demonstrating that it is possible to also link its financial incentives to both financial and Impact return. In Partnership with the Impact Institute the fund uses the Multiple of Money methodology and aims to realise 2x impact: for every Euro invested it wants to realise at least two Euros of societal and ecological impact.

Wire Group is engaging actively with its investors, sharing investment insights, findings, and dilemmas. “By organising Insight & Inspiration events for our investors, we raise the level of understanding and consciousness around important themes and impact investing in general. It is very fulfilling to spend time with our investors seeing this is the Purpose of our firm since 2010” says Tera Terpstra, Co-founder of Wire Group.

Celebrating change and take action, that is what we need now! Wire Group urges everybody to take their responsibility and put capital at work where it is needed most. Let’s make the shift together. Let’s be wired!

Happy to announce our Third Opening with EUR 46 mln in commitments (including co-investments). The fund will be open for new investors until the summer of 2021 and we are well on track to achieving our targeted fund size. What gets us really excited is the caliber of investors that are joining us: For many of them this is their first “impact investment” and all of them are truly intentional and determined to make a change. We are also proud of our first two commitments to The Rise Fund II and Blue Horizon Ventures and look forward to finalizing an investment in sustainable forestry.

We are proud to announce that as of today our new investment manager has started for the Wire Private Markets fund.

Besides having a bright and friendly personality, Emma Verloop brings substantial experience in managing investment portfolios, due diligence, deal negotiation and performance monitoring.
