Pathfinder Asset Management

Pathfinder Asset Management develops and manages ethical investment funds and KiwiSaver plans, focusing on socially responsible investments across global asset classes. It constructs portfolios by selecting businesses delivering positive environmental and social benefits, including renewable energy, sustainable technology, and community housing, integrating financial performance with impact. This approach ensures capital is directed towards enterprises that meet rigorous ethical and sustainability criteria.

Co-founded in 2009 by John Berry and Paul Brownsey, Pathfinder Asset Management arose from their vision to direct financial expertise toward societal impact and returns. Leveraging traditional finance backgrounds, they built a firm dedicated to "making good money" after the Global Financial Crisis, expanding ethical investing from thematic funds to a wider audience, including mainstream KiwiSaver participants.

Pathfinder serves investors, notably New Zealand's KiwiSaver members, who aim to align financial growth with their values. The firm asserts that responsible investing is both ethical and sound, demonstrating that purposeful capital allocation can yield strong results. As Aotearoa's first certified B Corp fund manager, Pathfinder envisions leading the investment sector toward a future where capital actively contributes to sustainable development.
