BlackRock and Phenix Capital Partner to Scale Impact Investing

The offering targets pension funds, family offices, and foundations, providing them with both outsourced chief investment officer portfolios and custom mandates. By leveraging BlackRock’s proprietary Aladdin platform, the partnership aims to standardize the way institutional capital approaches impact, offering end-to-end oversight that mirrors traditional governance and performance benchmarks. This initiative addresses a critical gap in the $1.6 trillion impact market, where investors increasingly demand the same rigor for sustainability goals as they do for financial returns.

Sarju Mehta, head of Investment Solutions for EMEA at BlackRock, noted that the move is driven by a strong appetite among European investors to align long-term financial growth with specific impact objectives. Through this integrated framework, clients can now tap into a broader universe of strategies while maintaining strict control over portfolio design and reporting transparency.
