PCG Investments

What they do

PCG Investments serves as the single family office for the Groenen family, whose wealth originated in textiles and real estate. Managed by Robert Boogaard, the firm is highly distinctive for its "spend-down" philosophy-they are actively spending down their wealth rather than preserving it for future generations, believing that deploying capital now toward the world's most pressing problems yields the greatest positive impact. They operate using a "Total Portfolio Approach," meaning they do not separate their capital into "profit" and "charity" buckets; instead, 100% of their assets and returns are dedicated to maximizing net positive social and environmental impact.

What they look for

PCG Investments asks one central question: "How can we increase the impact of our wealth?" Their thesis is built on spending down their wealth to ambitiously fund solutions to the world's most pressing problems. They look for high-impact social enterprises, impact funds, and non-profits that can demonstrate measurable results. Their approach is deeply rooted in the principles of "Effective Altruism" and "Effective Giving." They explicitly state that they use "careful reasoning, and evidence where possible, to fund the most promising solutions".
