Who we are
Founded in 2015, Avivar Capital (Avivar) helps foundations, family offices, and other institutional investors put capital to work for positive social and environmental impact. Avivar combines more than a century of experience in impact investment strategy, research, due diligence, and portfolio monitoring and reporting to help clients align their financial resources with the change they seek to create.
Avivar operates through two business lines. Avivar Advisors, an SEC-registered investment adviser,¹ supports investors through each stage of the impact investment lifecycle: planning, policy, process and procedures, and portfolio management. Avivar Fund Management provides fund design, development, capital formation and deployment, portfolio monitoring and reporting, and fund administration.
1 Registration with the SEC as an investment adviser does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
What we do
Institutional investors increasingly want to put capital to work for positive change. Avivar Capital builds the infrastructure to make that possible.
