Given the complexities of UK venture fund management and the obligation for an FCA‑authorised firm to oversee investments, Sustainable Ventures Investment Management Limited required a regulated investment manager. Partnering with Sapphire in this capacity allowed them to launch both their SEIS and EIS Impact Funds simultaneously.
With Sapphire managing the regulatory requirements and day-to-day oversight of Sustainable Ventures’ two funds, the team could focus entirely on sourcing deals. Sustainable Ventures also became Sapphire's appointed representative in March 2025, allowing it to advise Sapphire on equity investments.
