Requirement Criteria for Gender Lens Investing Collection
Funds included in the collection must meet rigorous selection criteria, demonstrating a clear Gender Lens investment thesis, apply a gender lens to its internal business practices, a commitment to gender equity in governance and operations, and portfolio alignment with gender impact goals. Additionally, funds that meet established industry standards, such as the 2X Challenge, automatically qualify. Learn more about SVX’s Gender Lens selection criteria here.
Requirement Criteria for Managed Products Collection
The Impact Index selection criteria for managed products ensures that all products meet high standards. Minimum screening requirements include alignment with impact sectors focused on social, environmental, and economic outcomes; an investment size of at least $10 million; investment structures encompassing public and private securities; and availability to Canadian investors, though impact outcomes are not necessarily limited to Canada. See the Managed Products selection criteria here.
Requirement Criteria for Food Systems Collection
The Food Systems Collection features investment products advancing the transition to sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems with a long-term orientation towards regenerative and agroecological approaches. Products in this collection channel capital toward initiatives that restore ecological health, build economic resilience for farmers and communities, and drive systemic change across the food and agricultural value chain.

Requirement Criteria for Catalyst Community Finance Collection
The Catalyst Community Finance Collection features investment products that deploy capital to strengthen the economic foundations of specific communities defined by place, identity, or lived experience of exclusion.

Prospective Impact Index issuers and products must initially meet the minimum screening requirements, and community finance product issuers must meet more comprehensive additional requirements.
