Spear’s Review

Tribe Impact Capital claims to be the first wealth manager in the UK where 100 per cent of AuM is managed with the aim of delivering on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its mission is simple: to prioritise ‘investing that does well and does good’. 

The firm is chaired by David Scott, who was previously managing director at the UK HNW division of UBS and founded Vestra Wealth – which was acquired by the Princely family of Liechtenstein through the LGT Group (now LGT Wealth Management). 

In 2015, he was introduced to Amy Clarke, who would become Tribe’s chief impact officer, and together – with the firm’s other co-founders – they set about ‘tackling the investment paradigm’. The firm started operating in earnest in 2016 under Scott’s belief that HNWs wanted a more ethical avenue through which to spend their wealth where financial returns could be balanced alongside environmental and social returns. 

Tribe is a B Corporation and is a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. It is also a part of the Science Based Targets initiative and the HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter.
