Tribe Impact Capital
David Scott and Amy Clarke launched Tribe Impact Capital in 2016 as a London-based dedicated impact wealth manager structured as a B Corporation, embedding sustainability into both its legal charter and its investment process. The firm serves UK-based families and individuals seeking to align their portfolios with positive social and environmental outcomes, operating as a multi-family-office-style discretionary and advisory manager. Clarke, a long-time sustainability strategist, and Scott, a former investment banker, built the firm to make impact investing the default rather than a niche allocation. Tribe deploys capital across public equities, fixed income, private equity, venture capital, and real assets, blending asset-class exposure with a proprietary SDG mapping framework that scores every investment against the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. The firm accesses private markets primarily through fund commitments rather than direct deals, selecting managers that demonstrate intentional, measurable impact alongside financial return. Public market exposure is typically built through direct-equity and bond portfolios with an exclusionary screen and positive tilt toward climate solutions, healthcare access, financial inclusion, and education. Confirmed focus areas include clean energy, social housing, and sustainable infrastructure, with a geographic bias toward UK and European opportunities. Tribe operates from a single London office with a lean team of advisors and impact analysts. The firm has periodically disclosed aggregate assets under advice rather than a formal AUM figure, and as of mid-2024 reported advising on total client capital that places it among the larger dedicated impact wealth managers in the UK. In September 2024, the firm was named a finalist for the Citywire Wealth Manager Investment Performance Awards, recognizing its impact-focused portfolio outcomes against conventional peers (per Citywire, September 2024). Alongside its core wealth-management function, the firm publishes an annual impact report that audits client-portfolio alignment against the SDGs, a transparency practice uncommon among UK wealth managers. Tribe's structural differentiator is its dual B Corporation and Chartered Wealth Manager status, combining a legally embedded impact mandate with the regulatory oversight of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment. This architecture requires the firm to balance fiduciary duty under UK wealth-management rules with a published commitment to non-financial outcomes, creating an operating model that sits between a conventional multi-family office and a specialist impact fund manager. The result is a firm built around impact verification rather than product distribution, a posture that distinguishes it from most London wealth managers layering ESG screens onto standard model portfolios.

Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Tribe Impact Capital?
Co-founders Amy Clarke and David Scott set the firm's strategic direction, with Clarke leading impact methodology and Scott overseeing investment operations. Day-to-day portfolio decisions are handled by an investment committee that applies Tribe's proprietary SDG-mapping framework. The committee incorporates input from the firm's internal impact analysts who score prospective holdings against the UN Sustainable Development Goals before inclusion in any client portfolio.
How does Tribe source its private market investments?
Tribe accesses private markets through fund commitments to external managers rather than direct deals or co-investments. The manager selection process includes a due-diligence layer focused on intentionality, measurement, and additionality of impact—criteria that sit alongside standard financial underwriting. The firm sources opportunities through its network of impact-focused GPs and industry platforms and has indicated a preference for UK and European managers.
Is Tribe structured as a single family office or a wealth manager?
Tribe operates as a multi-family-office-style discretionary and advisory wealth manager serving multiple UK-based families and individuals, not a single family's dedicated office. It is regulated by the FCA as a Chartered Wealth Manager, a designation earned from the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, and is simultaneously a certified B Corporation with a written commitment to stakeholder governance.
What is Tribe's approach to measuring impact?
Tribe maps every portfolio holding to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals using a proprietary methodology that scores investments on intended and actual positive outcomes. The firm publishes an annual impact report auditing aggregate client-portfolio alignment against the SDGs, a level of transparency uncommon among UK wealth managers. The process applies across public equities, fixed income, and private fund holdings.
Does Tribe target specific sectors or exclude any explicitly?
Tribe applies an exclusionary screen that typically rules out fossil-fuel extraction, tobacco, controversial weapons, and companies with severe governance violations, consistent with its B Corporation charter. The firm tilts positively toward clean energy, social housing, healthcare access, financial inclusion, education, and sustainable infrastructure. It has not published a formal restricted-sectors list beyond what its impact methodology excludes by design.
What asset classes does Tribe manage across?
Tribe constructs discretionary and advisory portfolios spanning public equities, fixed income, private equity, venture capital, and real assets. The asset-allocation mix is tailored to each client, with public markets typically executed through direct holdings and private markets accessed via fund commitments. The firm has confirmed exposure to clean-energy infrastructure and social-housing real assets within its private market sleeve.
How does Tribe's B Corporation status affect its fiduciary duty?
As a B Corporation, Tribe has a legally embedded commitment to consider the impact of its decisions on workers, community, and the environment alongside shareholder value. This sits alongside its FCA-regulated duty to act in the best financial interests of clients. The firm reconciles the two by making impact alignment a client mandate requirement rather than an overlay, meaning all clients opt into the impact objective as part of the onboarding process.
