Goji Partners with Greater Share
LONDON, 30 August, 2023 - Goji, an FCA regulated, UK-based technology provider that offers investors digital access to alternative investments, has announced it is providing its onboarding platform technology to support Greater Share’s fundraising efforts for its first fund, which focuses on education.
The Greater Share Education Fund (“the Fund”), which is set to reach its second close in September 2023, will serve the education community to support their mission of closing the education gap for children in underserved communities globally. The Fund is supported by leading private market funds and service providers.
Greater Share is a new philanthropic investment model that aims to partner the world’s top-performing private equity funds with impact-driven NGOs. The model leverages the flagship strategies of primary funds that invest across sectors and geographies with investors sharing a portion of capital gains with the NGOs. As part of the innovative approach that blends investments returns and philanthropy, wealthy individual investors are able to invest into their funds.
Goji was recently acquired by Euroclear, the global provider of Financial Market Infrastructure. Together they are creating a global network for private funds, combining Goji’s platform technology with Euroclear’s extensive cross-border fund network. This will make Goji’s platform technology available to a much wider universe of investors via Euroclear’s FundSettle platform.
As a technology partner, Goji is providing its investor onboarding technology and services pro bono to digitise the onboarding process for Greater Share’s private and institutional investors at scale.
“Our education fund intends to help impactful organizations around the world support children from cradle to career,” Greater Share founder and Board Chair Paul Fletcher said. “We are excited to partner with Goji to help investors get digital access to what they need to ultimately invest in child-centred education.”
“We were thrilled to be introduced to the Greater Share initiative through our relationship with Apex and see the role our technology could play in supporting their fundraising activity, by making the Fund as accessible to as wide a group of investors as possible,” said David Genn, CEO of Goji. “We are excited to support Greater Share’s mission and help them with this successful closing.”
Greater Share is structured as a fund of funds and governed by Luxembourg Law.
