InPact Partners

What InPact Partners does

InPact Partners is a Geneva-headquartered, B Corp certified collaborative investment platform founded in 2015 that serves an international community of more than 50 institutional asset owners—including pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, and foundations/endowments—aggregating over USD 2 trillion in assets. The firm operates two service formats: Direct Access, in which asset owners pool into co-investment syndicates (USD 1.5+ billion of commitments syndicated annually across 8-10 funds and co-investments), and Mandates, encompassing both advisory engagements and FINMA-regulated discretionary mandates delivered through InPact Switzerland SA, with parallel Financial Investment Advisor (CIF) registration in France via InPact Europe SAS. The platform's core technology is a collaborative LP framework embedding ESG due diligence, monitoring, and engagement into every investment decision, supported by selection of 20+ investment managers across private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure since inception.

The business model is enterprise field-sales driven, with bespoke mandates and syndicate participation fees, combined with a community-led GTM motion that leverages collective intelligence, shared research, and enhanced governance as the primary value proposition. InPact generates revenue from transaction fees on syndicated co-investments, advisory retainers, and recurring managed services from discretionary AUM. Distribution is direct to institutional asset owners without intermediaries, augmented by content-driven marketing (LinkedIn, the InPact Macro & Private Markets Outlook, the Annual Asset Owner Survey, and the InPact Academy) and thought leadership in impact investing via memberships in ILPA, GIIN, and the E4S academic partnership.

The firm employs 17 professionals across Geneva, Zurich (opened March 2025 under Michael Keller), Paris, and Copenhagen (Thomas Hovard, Nordics representative, joined November 2025). The senior team draws from Unigestion, UBP, EFG, KPMG, and PGGM, with advisory support from Else Bos and Peter Damgaard Jensen. The 2025 strategic agenda emphasizes geographic expansion across the DACH and Nordics regions, scaling the La Caisse infrastructure partnership to roughly USD 700 million of aggregated commitments, professionalizing finance under a new CFO, and reinforcing ESG credentials via B Corp re-certification at a score of 117.4.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Unigestion: Geneva-based alternative asset manager where InPact founder Antoine Prudent previously led business development. Comparable heritage in Swiss private markets, similar institutional client base (pension funds and insurance companies), and overlapping coverage of PE, private debt and hedge fund solutions.
• Park Hill (Blackstone): Placement agent arm within Blackstone raising capital for alternative investment managers from institutional LPs; closest functional analog to InPact's syndicated capital-raising intermediary role at much greater scale.
• Grosvenor Capital Management: US-headquartered alternatives solutions firm providing custom private-markets investment programs, manager selection and co-investment access to institutional asset owners — directly comparable LP-advisory franchise with a multi-strategy, multi-manager mandate structure.
• StepStone Group: Global private-markets advisory and secondaries platform serving institutional LPs through research-driven manager selection and co-investment access — the closest analog to InPact's collaborative LP-community model, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Emerging players

• iCapital Network: Technology-enabled alternatives platform that streamlines institutional and advisor access to private market funds and co-investments; comparable 'platform' positioning though primarily serving advisor channel rather than pension-led LP consortia.
• CAIS: Alternatives platform providing wealth-channel investors access to private market funds via a curated manager lineup and due-diligence overlay; thematic adjacency to InPact's curated manager-selection model, though serving RIAs/family offices rather than pensions directly.

Broad incumbents

• Hamilton Lane: Large, publicly listed private-markets investment manager and advisor offering customised private-markets programs, fund commitments and co-investment access to institutional LPs globally — broader incumbent with proprietary databases and direct deal capabilities.
• Partners Group: Swiss-listed global private-markets investment manager with strong institutional LP relationships across private equity, private debt, infrastructure and real estate; represents the scaled incumbent InPact's clients also allocate to.
• Meketa Investment Group: US-headquartered investment consulting firm advising public pensions, foundations and endowments on private-markets allocation and manager selection; overlaps with InPact's institutional LP-advisory mission in the pension channel.
• Aon Investments: Global investment consulting and OCIO business helping pension funds and insurance companies design and implement private-markets investment programs; competes for the same institutional LP advisory mandates as InPact's Mandates offering.
