Through our catalytic investment portfolio, we invest patient, flexible, and risk-tolerant capital across the spectrum of financial returns. Our investments support markets and communities that have been historically overlooked and underinvested in, demonstrating new models and unlocking additional capital to achieve impact at scale.

We engage an impact-first investment approach, screening opportunities based on alignment with WES’ mission, values, and three impact themes: opportunity, wealth, and power.

Across the portfolio, we also support ecosystem-building initiatives, such as narrative and policy change efforts to ensure more inclusive and equitable economies. Finally, we seek to center Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice (DEIBJ) principles across where, what, and how we invest.
