Investment thesis

Zouk Capital is a London-based fund manager focused on the opportunities emerging at the intersection of infrastructure, technology, and sustainability. The firm operates a dual-track strategy: an Infrastructure track that invests in, builds, and scales projects and companies in environmental infrastructure and renewable energy (including EV charging, waste-to-energy, energy efficiency, and distributed energy, primarily in Europe and the UK); and a Climate Technology track that backs commercially proven, technology-enabled companies to accelerate growth and create value while delivering scalable environmental and social impact across cleantech, mobility, and impact-oriented fintech in Europe, the US, and Africa. Drawing on over 200 years of collective team experience, Zouk manages approximately €1 billion — including the £420m UK Government-backed Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF) — with ESG placed at the core of every investment.

Notable quotes

Zouk's DNA is all about a broad approach to investing in the clean and efficient economy. We have a distinctive dual track strategy of managing both Growth Capital and Infrastructure funds, which we believe capitalizes on the wide spectrum of investment opportunities created by the global shift to greater resource efficiency. Our ambition is to build resource-efficient companies and clean infrastructure assets that generate economic and sustainable value.

Technology is filling the void and creating highly efficient sustainable businesses – efficient in resources and efficient in business model. It is our job as investors to support the growth and development of these companies. Today, I would say there is no doubt that the biggest driver of a sustainable approach to investing is the revolutionary effect of technology.

The two key areas have been electric vehicle charging infrastructure and sustainable digital tech. That said, our success mainly comes from 18 years of learning from our early mistakes, avoiding pitfalls and focusing on growth investments at the right time.
