HIP Strategies
HIP Global Growth 50 Impact Portfolio
The HIP Global Growth 50 strategy invests in 50 global companies driving sustainable growth through innovation, digital transformation, and responsible business leadership. These enterprises lead industries in resource efficiency, employee well-being, ethical governance, and innovation that advances a more inclusive and resilient global economy.
Our strategy selects firms with the highest Human Impact + Profit (HIP) ratings — meaning they generate competitive financial returns while creating measurable social, environmental, and governance value. Each holding demonstrates leadership in sustainability themes such as clean technology, digital inclusion, responsible supply chains, and equitable access to services. We then excluded firms with major controversy or governance issues.
Investing in Global Innovators
Leading holdings such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) power the world’s digital backbone with energy-efficient chips central to artificial intelligence, renewable energy systems, and smart infrastructure. Broadcom and Capgemini advance digital transformation across industries, optimizing data centers and networks to reduce energy use and improve efficiency.
In transportation and connectivity, Amadeus IT Group and Cellnex Telecom are building the digital infrastructure for smarter, more connected, lower-carbon travel and communications. Visa drives financial inclusion globally, empowering individuals and small businesses with secure, accessible digital payment systems — a cornerstone of equitable economic growth.
European technology leaders like The Sage Group and Indra Sistemas, along with Nikon from Japan, integrate responsible innovation into their operations, advancing solutions from ethical AI to precision manufacturing that lowers waste and resource intensity.
Purpose Meets Performance
The HIP Global Growth 50 strategy represents the convergence of purpose and performance — channeling capital toward companies shaping the next generation of sustainable growth.
