Our Services

Symmetry mobilises finance for Nature-based and inclusive Solutions (NbS), across the agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, water, and local energy sectors. We work with companies, NGOs, project developers and local communities to access finance from a mix of sources: grants, markets and investment..

Investment Advisory

We provide integrated investment advisory services to develop bankable, investment-grade opportunities in nature-based solutions (NbS) and climate adaptation, while supporting financial institutions to embed climate and nature considerations into capital allocation and portfolio strategy.

Our services include:

  • Feasibility assessments and revenue model development (carbon, biodiversity, water, resilience services)
  • Integrated financial modelling and capital structuring (equity, debt, concessional and blended finance)
  • ESG integration, climate and nature risk advisory, aligned with frameworks such as the TCFD and TNFD
  • Design of blended finance facilities and nature-positive investment vehicles
  • Fundraising strategy, pipeline development, and investor engagement support

Our approach ensures that nature-based solutions move from concept to capitalisation and implementation — delivering measurable climate resilience, biodiversity gains, and sustainable financial returns.
