Thesis
Encourage Capital Management, LLC is an impact investment and advisory firm established in December 2014 through the merger of Wolfensohn Fund Management, LP and EKO Asset Management Partners, LLC. The firm's core strategy, 'Solutions Strategies,' involves identifying social/environmental issues, conducting systemic analysis, and devising cost-effective, impactful strategies to catalyze scalable investments for commercial capital. They focus on climate (clean energy finance, environmental markets), financial inclusion (active-minority investments in growth-stage companies), ocean health, freshwater conservation, sustainable infrastructure, and sustainable seafood. Encourage Capital has a significant focus on emerging markets, particularly India, with a track record of investing in and exiting financial institutions. While current AUM is not specified, its predecessor managed a $250 million PE fund, and a recent solar finance fund closed its first round at $40 million with a $75 million target. The firm typically makes active-minority investments in growth-stage companies.
