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 take into account 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-party investment managers with the primary investment objective to achieve capital growth and positive social and environmental impact. Investing in this strategy is subject to risks arising from the volatility of securities, bonds, currency and interest rate markets that could negatively affect the performance. Under unusual market conditions the specific risks can increase significantly.

Potential investors should be aware that the underlying investment funds often pursue a more alternative investment policy than traditional investment funds. Some investments, particularly private (non-listed) investment strategies, may involve assets which are illiquid, are difficult to value and/or are exposed to high market, credit and liquidity risk including the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy. In such circumstances, the ability for an investor to redeem its interest in the strategy will be limited due to a lack of available liquid assets.

The value of your investment may fluctuate; past performance is no guarantee for the future. Past performance does not predict future returns.

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.
