Allocating capital
toward an equitable world
while earning a generative return on investment.

Our success is built upon our experiences on Main St., Bay St. and the farthest reaches of developing economies.

Our perspectives are formed by the bridges we’ve forged among stakeholders as diverse as governments, publicly traded financial institutions, INGOs, and myriad enterprises and innovators.

We know finance is a powerful tool for social change. When invested strategically, we can influence and shift norms, knowledge, attitudes and practices. We can lift structural barriers and empower individuals with the capacity, skills and confidence to participate and benefit throughout society.

Purpose

Vision

A world in which social and economic prosperity is enjoyed by all. Where new methods of finance, economics, wealth appreciation and capitalism have permanently uprooted outmoded and biased hierarchical models.

Mission

To empower individuals and organizations to better use capital to advance their and our collective missions; to deploy capital and improve infrastructure and systems to better serve marginalized individuals and communities using intersectionality, thereby breaking down systemic social stratification.

Our Commitment

We commit that our values are represented at every level of our organization, and with everything we do. Our Portfolio is our thesis, and our Policies are our praxis. 

We are a proud B Corp, a Beyond the Billion partner, and a member of the #MovingForward movement. 

What's in a name?

Marigold Capital is named after the marigold flower. While it was historically offered as a sacrifice to many gods, the marigold is known for its power to resurrect despite being connected to despair and grief. This conception and symbol of remembrance for the flower within the Mexican Dia de los Muertos celebrations is where we draw our inspiration.

Working with Mexican migrant workers for several years is where Jonathan fell in love with all things Mexican – flautas, cumbia, and more specifically, the spirit of its annual Dia de los Muertos, a joyful and colourful annual celebration of lost loved ones. The marigold flower reminds us that as impact investors we must stand on the shoulders of our ancestors to make the world a better place for our children. And, we can do so with style, colour, and a dash of kitsch.
