Explore our Local Investing Services
Helping asset allocators, fund managers and public sector leaders with local investing.
At The Good Economy, we provide expert strategic advice for asset allocators, fund managers and public bodies. Our work helps clients design and deliver place-based impact investing (PBII) strategies that are practical, evidence-based and aligned with local investing policy priorities.
A Proven Framework
Our PBII Reporting Framework is not a theoretical model – it’s an industry-led standard developed in partnership with and already used by pioneering LGPS funds, private pension funds and asset managers. It provides a robust, repeatable, and cost-effective way to turn your local investment data into clear, credible evidence of your impact.
Impact Measurement and Management Systems
TGE offers an end-to-end suite of impact advisory services and tools designed to help clients meet the growing demand and regulatory requirements for greater confidence and credibility in investment strategies that create positive impact and / or pursue sustainability outcomes.
We work across all asset classes and sectors, with a particular specialisation in private markets, and have clients in the UK, Europe and Emerging Markets.

We are committed to working with partners across the sector to build a robust framework for local investment strategies that support UK growth and long-term prosperity.”
“We are proud to have sponsored this report, which highlights the vital role that local investment plays in strengthening the UK economy. In supporting businesses through venture, debt, and equity, we can unlock growth, create jobs, and make a positive contribution to the communities where we invest."
“Bridges is delighted to have sponsored this paper, and welcomes its focus on investments that drive positive social and/or environmental outcomes as well as attractive financial returns. As we know from two decades of Bridges’ experience, investing in businesses, properties and projects that are meeting unmet needs can drive resilient long-term financial returns for investors while also boosting local economic growth."
"Newcore has been very pleased to contribute to this Good Economy report, given our focus on local and regional investing in UK social infrastructure and our existing relationships with four of the LGPS pools. As well as seeking potentially attractive returns and positive social impact, there are other natural synergies for the pools investing in this asset class."
