ANTWERP, March 31st 2022 - Econopolis has further strengthened its Climate Fund team with the appointment of Philippe Van Loock as Senior Portfolio Manager, based in Antwerp (Belgium).
In his new role at Econopolis, Philippe Van Loock will strengthen the team responsible for the active management of the recently-launched Econopolis Climate Fund. In addition to having oversight of the fund and day-to-day fund management, Philippe will also be actively involved in client liaisons and in the media as an expert on climate solution companies.
Philippe brings more than 20 years of experience in the asset management sector. Prior to joining Econopolis, he had various roles at Delen Private Bank as a Buy-Side Equity Analyst and more recently as Portfolio Manager of a successful Impact Fund at Capfi Delen Asset Management.

ABOUT THE ECONOPOLIS CLIMATE FUND: The fund, which has been launched in the summer of 2021 and with an DBI-RDT version launched in December 2021, is not an ordinary climate fund.
It is the first and only mutual fund to focus its investment policy on the solutions provided by the Drawdown framework, written in the same book by Paul Hawken. The fund does not simply invest in companies with low carbon activities, such as banks and companies in the services sector. Many other climate funds take it too easy this way. The Econopolis Climate Fund consciously select companies that are actively working on the most impactful climate solutions, as described in the book Drawdown.
