Stockholm, Sweden, November 26th, 2024,
Chainwire
Phlomis Finance, a
real-world asset investing platform built on the Chromia blockchain, has announced a collaboration with
responsAbility Investments AG based in Zurich,
Switzerland. With over 20 years of experience, responsAbility has
established itself as a global leader in impact investing.
responsAbility provides investment solutions to retail,
professional, and institutional investors across the Financial
Inclusion, Climate Finance, and Sustainable Food sectors with a
focus on driving impact in emerging markets.
The collaboration will enable Phlomis
Finance the opportunity to offer, through its resilient investing
platform, a range of responsAbility private debt and equity
products for the fast-growing real-world asset (RWA) market. Web3
project treasuries and investors looking for additional yield have
invested in tokenized US Treasuries, private credit lending, and
other asset types. The Phlomis Finance-responsAbility collaboration
will now provide individual digital asset investors and
institutions access to an expanded set of liquid and longer-term
fund offerings.
responsAbility’s investment solutions
deliver measurable impact alongside market returns. By driving
sustainable economic growth, they can contribute to poverty
alleviation by empowering individuals and businesses in emerging
markets to generate income and create jobs. Furthermore, their
strong emphasis on gender inclusion advances women’s economic
empowerment, reflecting responsAbility’s commitment to advancing
key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
One of the primary goals of the
collaboration is the recording of all financial and impact
reporting events on-chain. These transactions include
securitization, primary issuance and secondary trading with the
goal of offering full transparency and accelerated settlement to
investors. Phlomis will utilize the Chromia blockchain as a secure
data layer to record financial and impact transaction data. It will
also use the Chromia on-chain Filehub solution to host its virtual data room
for investor-oriented document sharing. ChromaWay, the builders of
Chromia, provided initial funding to Phlomis Finance through its
venture arm.
Robert Widen, Director of the
Nordics for responsAbility added, “We are excited to work
with Phlomis Finance and the ChromaWay team to develop a new
channel and paradigm for impact investments tailored to the growing
segment of digital asset holders. We believe our investment
products, which provide attractive returns with specific,
measurable impact, will appeal to digital asset investors.”
Todd Miller, Managing Director
for Phlomis Finance commented, “responsAbility is an
innovative leader in the impact asset management space with a
proven and consistent performance and impact record. We are excited
to work with a fund manager recognized for its quality asset and
credit management plus rigorous impact assessment strategies.
Combining their expertise in asset management and impact assessment
with our technology platform will bring a unique suite of resilient
investment offerings to market.”
