Case study: Fewer wildfires, more biodiversity

Across the United States, wildfires are intensifying, turning vast forest areas to ash and putting people and nature under mounting pressure. New solutions are needed to manage land more intelligently and act before small sparks become major disasters.

Via its Private Global Impact Solution (PGIS), Van Lanschot Kempen invests in an innovative platform that uses advanced data and AI to rethink how forests are mapped, monitored and managed. This makes quicker, more coordinated action on the ground possible.

Discover how this approach helps reduce wildfire risk and support biodiversity in the full case study.

General risks to consider when investing in the Private Global Impact Solution

The Private Global Impact Solution will primarily invest in a diversified pool of investment funds managed by third parties, with the primary investment objective being capital growth and positive social and environmental impact. Investing in this strategy is subject to risks arising from the volatility of equity, bond, currency, and interest rate markets, which could negatively affect performance. Under particular market conditions, specific risks may increase significantly. The value of your investment may fluctuate. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Potential investors should be aware that the underlying investment funds often pursue more alternative investment policies than traditional investment funds. Some investments, particularly private (non-listed) investment strategies, may relate to assets that are illiquid, difficult to value, and/or exposed to high market, credit and liquidity risks, including the risk of insolvency or "ban". In such circumstances, an investor's ability to dispose of their interest in the strategy will be limited due to a lack of available liquidity.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
