Arcano Partners: Scaling Impact With a Fund of Funds (A)
The case describes the setting up of an impact fund of funds (FOF) in 2019 by Arcano Partners, a leading Spanish independent asset management firm. Since its inception, Arcano Partners pioneered the FOF model in Private Equity and had recently launched two successful ESG-committed funds. Now, the firm is venturing into the impact investing space. The case centers around Jose Luis del Río, head of the PE division at Arcano, who is about to pitch to Caixabank - Spain's largest institutional investor - their first Impact fund, with the aim of closing them as the anchor investor. José Luis needs to decide whether to include thematic funds in the portfolio of Arcano's Impact FOF, but also whether it is worth deviating from their traditional buyout strategy and focus the FOF towards growth stage investments.
