Each portfolio company goes through impact due diligence to develop its own Theory of Change, with clear impact KPIs which are reported on quarterly. We also collect ESG data annually to meet SFDR reporting requirements. Our structured approach ensures this isn’t just a compliance exercise – it’s seamlessly embedded in operations to drive real value. Want proof? Talk to our portfolio companies. 

SFDR stands for the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, an EU regulation that requires financial market participants to disclose sustainability-related information to enhance transparency and prevent greenwashing. It classifies investment funds into three categories: Article 6 (no sustainability focus), Article 8 (“light green” funds promoting environmental or social characteristics), and Article 9 (“dark green” funds with a sustainability objective). Pymwymic is Article 9.  

We can invest globally, but have a particular focus on Europe. We’re looking for innovative companies that can make an impact regardless of location, but we do have a strong preference to be close to our portfolio companies to be able to have a meaningful impact as shareholders. 

Our initial investments typically range between €1m and €3m depending on the stage of the company and the capital needed to scale.  

We are currently investing through our second fund, the Pymwymic Healthy Food Systems Impact Fund II.  

The Pymwymic Healthy Food Systems Impact Fund II is a €71.5m fund focused on the agri-food sector. Our vintage year is 2022 and we have a typical 10+2 fund structure for our Healthy Food Systems Impact Fund II, meaning we have 10 years to deploy capital and a 2-year extension option to achieve our returns.
