At 9FB Capital, we believe in the transformative potential of technology to drive a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future. As responsible stewards of capital, we recognize that maximizing long-term value requires diligent management of material business risks and opportunities. Therefore, we integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives into our operations and investment strategies to fulfill our fiduciary and legal obligations.
Our Responsible Investment Policy (the “Policy”) provides the foundation for how we manage ESG risks and opportunities, ensuring that we create value for all our stakeholders. To align with our goals of maximizing returns, 9FB Capital is committed to various industry-led initiatives that define and operationalize our approach to ESG.
This Policy provides a general framework for identifying and managing ESG risks and opportunities across 9FB Capital’s internal operations and investment strategies. Our approach varies depending on the influence we have over each investment, which may differ depending on the fund structure, investment terms, and governance. The Policy’s specific application will be outlined in the governing documents of each fund and in applicable regulatory disclosures.
Where 9FB Capital has limited influence over the ESG considerations (e.g., minority stakes, limited governance rights), we will only apply the Policy’s elements that are feasible under those circumstances.
9FB Capital understands that responsible investment is key to driving long-term value. Accountability for implementing this Policy rests with:

For substantial private credit investments, our ESG team collaborates with credit platform professionals to identify ESG risks using AI tools and specialized diligence questionnaires.
In line with our commitment to the PRI, 9FB Capital publicly discloses its responsible investment practices. Our ESG team tracks the progress of ESG engagement across our private equity and credit portfolios, and we report on these efforts as part of our fiduciary responsibility to investors.
This Policy is subject to regular review by 9FB Capital’s senior leadership to ensure it remains relevant and effective.
