We have assembled an unparalleled combination of experience, insight, and skill. Harnessing environmental data and analysis, we strive to reliably achieve superior returns for our investors.

Terra Alpha Investments is a public equity manager founded in 2014 by highly experienced investors who share the conviction that our rapidly evolving world requires a change in investment thinking.Our rigorous and proprietary Environmental Productivity (EP) analysis values our planet's natural resources and sits at the center of our successful investment process. Our innovative process of quantitative and qualitative analysis helps us identify companies with the optimal combination of Enduring Business Models (EBM) and superior EP. We believe this process is the primary driver of our ability to deliver superior long-term investment returns for our investors.

Environmental Productivity

Terra Alpha uses its proprietary Environmental Productivity (EP) analysis framework to identify leading companies across sectors and around the world. EP is the efficiency with which companies use and impact natural resources (clean air and freshwater, healthy soils, forests and oceans, and sustainable raw materials). For businesses operating in the 21st century, managing the evolving environmental challenges and constraints is imperative.

EPIn a resource-constrained world, Environmental Productivity analysis is an essential investment tool. CarbonBusinesses and investors need to consider their use of greenhouse gas emissions in decision making. WaterThere is a strong business and investment case for taking into account sustainable water management. WasteThose who optimize resource efficiency and recover value from waste streams will be best positioned to outperform. SoilHealthy soil for growing food, fiber, and feeds is a shrinking global resource facing growing demands on its productivity.Enduring Business Model

Terra Alpha's Enduring Business Model (EBM) Scoring process is designed to measure a company's ability to deliver long-term (5+ years) growth of sales and earnings in our rapidly changing world. These changes will accelerate the creative-destructive nature of our capital markets; increasing risk and creating new opportunities for investors.

Our senior investment team and the sector analysts individually assess each company across a range of factors. In the end, we build a long-term outlook for each business which we believe is positioned to thrive.
