Focused on scale and institutionalizing investment for impact, Vistria’s Impact Report highlights decisive actions taken to drive positive outcomes for its portfolio companies, and the lives and livelihoods they support.
The Vistria Group (“Vistria”) today released its latest annual Impact Report, which provides a comprehensive overview of the firm’s impact strategy and how impact is integrated into each portfolio company.
“We are committed to delivering outsized returns that contribute critical, high quality solutions to public sector challenges,” said Marty Nesbitt, Senior Partner and Co-CEO. “During the past year, we have put our Flagship Fund IV to work and continued to expand our team and capabilities with a focus on catalyzing impact. At a moment of major demographic change and ongoing inequities in the United States, Vistria remains committed to leveraging its nearly $10 billion in assets under management* to bridge the gaps in our healthcare, knowledge and learning solutions, and financial systems while delivering meaningful returns for our investors.”
KipKip Kirkpatrick, Senior Partner and Co-CEO commented, “We continue to make significant strides in addressing the current shortfalls in our society – through access to high-quality education, especially for nontraditional learners, critical treatment for populations battling addiction, and advancing financial capability and opportunity – by incorporating impact at every stage of our investment lifecycle. Now more than ever, we believe there is a tremendous opportunity and mandate to leverage private capital to rebuild an economic system that serves all and can respond dynamically to the challenges ahead.”
As illustrated throughout the report, Vistria’s portfolio is advancing impact alongside financial growth across healthcare, knowledge and learning solutions, and financial services. Key metrics highlighted in the report, as well as in the infographic below, include**:
