Investment Strategies
True North Institute manages the Miranda Family investments supported by our team at Partners Capital.
Our investment strategy focuses 80% of the family’s assets on the most catalytic investments behind the global energy transition, to be invested roughly 50/50 between public and private companies.
We make no concessions on investment returns, underwriting each investment against the benchmark of the best public and private investments outside of the energy transition theme.
We believe that the most profitable path will lead to the most successful decarbonization.
