Relevant Expertise
Our expert advisory team draws on its extensive capital raising and structuring experience, across the spectrum of capital, in the execution of mandates. We partner with enterprises, development organisations, financial institutions and governments to design, connect, finance and build demand-driven solutions that are responsive to local market realities, specific client circumstances, and investor goals and expectations.
Origins and Track Record
Palladium's capital advisory team traces its origins from two market leaders in the impact industry, Triodos Facet and ShoreBank International. Triodos is a leading bank focused on sustainability and the real economy. Its in-house consulting arm was Triodos Facet, which merged (in 2013) with the international advisory business of The ShoreBank Group, the pioneer of the community banking model in the United States. The combination of those businesses became Enclude, leveraging their combined 50-year track record of entrepreneurship development, inclusive finance, and professional services delivery. In 2018, Enclude joined global impact firm Palladium. Together they developed innovative ways of financing international development and leveraging private capital to address the world’s greatest challenges.
