Vistria’s Impact Thesis
PURSUING EQUITABLE OUTCOMES AT SCALE
At Vistria, we have always believed there are abundant opportunities to deliver returns for investors while also advancing a more prosperous society. However, asymmetric access to opportunities impedes equitable outcomes.
Progress has been made, but systemic barriers keep people from accessing the pillars of economic stability – healthcare, education, financial services, and housing. These complex challenges require multifaceted solutions.
Our Flagship and Real Estate strategies invest in healthcare, knowledge and learning solutions, financial services, and affordable housing because we believe they are foundational to individual well-being and there is significant untapped opportunity to unlock impact potential.
We believe that impact is a core driver of value creation, and every company has the potential to contribute a positive impact for its stakeholders. We also believe responsible companies that align their growth strategy with impact priorities will be worth more.
Vistria invests in solutions to societal challenges with a focus on driving equitable outcomes at scale. We believe we have unique operational and subject matter expertise that allows us to optimize both financial and impact value for our stakeholders.
