Climate Asset Management Selected as an Emerging Impact Manager

Climate Asset Management Selected as an Emerging Impact Manager for the ImpactAssets 50® (IA 50).

London, United Kingdom – March 11, 2026 – Climate Asset Management, the natural capital investment manager established as a joint venture between HSBC Asset Management and Pollination, today announced that it has been named an Emerging Impact Manager in the 2026 ImpactAssets 50® (IA 50), a globally recognized reference for impact investing fund managers.

Now in its 15th year, the IA 50 highlights a diverse group of private market investment managers delivering measurable social and environmental outcomes. The 2026 edition includes three categories: the core IA 50 list, the Emerging Impact Managers list and the Emeritus Managers list, which recognises managers that have appeared on the IA 50 for more than five years. Climate Asset Management’s inclusion in the Emerging Impact Managers category reflects the firm’s expanding role in directing institutional capital toward climate solutions across natural capital and sustainable land use.

Being recognized as an Emerging Impact Manager on the IA 50 reflects the growing importance of investing in nature-based solutions to address climate change while delivering long-term value for investors,” said Martin Berg, CEO of Climate Asset Management.

The 2026 IA 50 highlights the breadth of approaches across the impact investing market. Just over half of participating managers focus primarily on investments within the United States, while social impact strategies remain prominent, with many firms targeting financial inclusion, community development, affordable housing and health. Environmental investment strategies also represent a substantial portion of the list, with many managers prioritising areas such as energy transition, clean technology and decarbonisation. Collectively, fund managers featured in the 2026 IA 50 directed nearly $17 billion toward impact investments over the past year.

Managers included in the IA 50 are selected through a rigorous multi-stage process conducted by an independent Review Committee of globally recognised industry leaders. The evaluation incorporates both qualitative and quantitative analysis led by ImpactAssets Capital Partners, with final selections based on demonstrated impact investing experience, clearly defined impact objectives and accessibility to U.S. investors.

The full IA 50 database is available at impactassets.org/IA-50 .
