how we pick companies
Three pillars. Every company in the inaam fund gets screened across all three before it gets in. No shortcuts.
pillar 01
financial robustness
Impact only works if the businesses behind it are financially strong. Every company we invest in has the scale and stability to deliver returns and keep driving change.
how big do companies need to be?
Valued at over $500 million with proven market presence. Think companies people have actually heard of, not some random startup burning cash.
do they actually make money?
Yes. EBITDAEarnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation. Basically how much money a company makes from its actual operations before accountants start doing their thing. above $100 million. At least $500 million in annual revenue. Profit margins in the 5-10% range.
can anyone check these companies?
All publicly listedMeans anyone can buy their shares on the stock market. Their finances, leadership, and performance are public record. No hiding. for full transparency and accountability. You can look them up yourself.
pillar 02
purposeful impact
Impact is not a side project. It's at the core of the businesses we back.
how do you measure impact?
We use the Impact Management ProjectA global framework that helps investors figure out if their money is actually doing good, not just saying it is. It measures What, Who, How Much, Contribution, and Risk. and Impact Frontiers frameworks. Five dimensions: What, Who, How Much, Contribution, and Risk.
what kinds of companies get in?
Category B: Businesses that benefit people and the planet through sustainable practices or inclusive products. Category C: Companies that deliver actual solutions to global challenges like renewable energy or the circular economy.
is this just greenwashing?
No. We screen for real, measurable outcomes. Not marketing claims, not sustainability reports nobody reads. If a company can't prove its impact with data, it doesn't get in.
pillar 03
leadership calibre
Lasting impact comes from the people behind the business. We screen leadership teams carefully.
what makes a good leader?
Integrity: Proven record of ethical governance and responsible decisions. Not just saying the right things at conferences.
do they actually care about impact?
Vision: Executives committed to creating long-term value for society, not just shareholders. We look at what they do, not what they say.
what about diversity?
Diversity: Boards that reflect gender, ethnic, and experiential diversity. We avoid companies led by individuals tied to ESG controversiesWhen a company gets caught doing something dodgy on the environmental, social or governance front. Think oil spills, wage theft, or board members getting done for fraud., regulatory violations, or greenwashing.
