About us

Investors with an entrepreneurial spirit

We’re an entrepreneurial asset manager unlocking institutional capital to invest in the people, ideas and industries that will change the world. 

A brighter way to invest

Octopus Capital is part of Octopus Investments, and we invest in the people, ideas and industries that will change the world.

With deep expertise in alternative assets, we deploy institutional capital where it can help drive strong returns and lasting change to solve some of society’s biggest challenges.

We focus on real estate, infrastructure, and private debt – sectors where capital can be a force for good.


Purpose-driven performance

We were founded on the belief that financial services could be done differently. And that belief still drives us today.

We don’t see a trade-off between performance and impact. In fact, we believe the two go hand in hand. We’re building investment strategies around long-term societal and environmental trends, helping our clients access future-fit opportunities aligned with their goals.

Whether funding real estate across every stage of life or investing in the infrastructure of tomorrow, our capital is at work where it matters most.

An entrepreneurial mindset

We’re not afraid to challenge convention. Our entrepreneurial mindset means we seek out the overlooked, the underserved, and the complex and bring clarity and momentum.


We were among the first investors in UK renewable energy. Today, we continue to pioneer impact-led investment strategies across sectors where we see untapped potential, such as affordable housing, infrastructure, and natural capital.

Our team combines sector expertise with bold ambition to deliver something better – for investors, communities and future generations.


Led by values

We’re a certified B Corporation – one of only a few hundred investment firms globally to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

It means we’ve legally committed to considering the impact of every decision on all our stakeholders, not just our shareholders. In our 2024 recertification, we ranked in the top 10% of B Corps worldwide.

We believe in doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Because how we behave is just as important as what we do.
