Deliberate Capital

What is Deliberate Capital?

Deliberate Capital is an investment fund that adopts a proactive approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and impact investing.

They focus on directing capital and technical assistance to create positive social and environmental outcomes.

Deliberate Capital goes beyond simply mitigating ESG risks; they actively work throughout the supply chains to identify and cultivate value-creation opportunities that come from sustainable and responsible practices. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Deliberate Capital, along with their portfolio companies, investors, and donors, provided essential support including food, health and safety equipment, and liquidity to thousands of coastal community members.

With a firm belief that the market will increasingly reward companies attentive to their social and environmental impact, Deliberate Capital aims to shift investment towards generating deliberate, substantial impact. Their team manages the Meloy Fund, an impact investment fund aimed at supporting sustainable transitions within businesses, especially within critical supply chains related to coastal marine ecosystems.

They also engage in designing bespoke impact investment solutions and offer sustainable finance advisory services to various stakeholders such as the private sector, family offices, foundations, NGOs, development banks, and governments.

These services and solutions are structured to address development challenges and to achieve scalable impact alongside financial returns. Through the Meloy Fund, Deliberate Capital invests in enterprises within the seafood and aquaculture sectors that typically lack access to capital, thereby benefiting coastal communities and sustaining vital habitats. The fund's activities contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the overarching intent to prosper coastal communities, create jobs, and maintain critical ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves.

Deliberate Capital's partners include family offices, foundations, development and commercial banks, and corporations, each contributing to the fund's holistic approach of manifesting tangible and sustainable impact for coastal environments and economies.
