Octopus Investments, part of the Octopus Group, is an investment company investing in the people, ideas and industries that will change the world. We manage investments for retail and institutional investors, investing £9.6* billion they have entrusted to us into the areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact. More than 85% of the money we manage is invested in line with one or more of our three investment themes: empowering people, revitalising healthcare and building a sustainable planet. Our retail investors and the financial advisers that support them, have many different goals, from supporting their families to lead better lives and effectively passing down wealth to protecting their money and directing it to places that need it. We provide a range of products that help them to achieve these aims, including Venture Capital Trusts, Enterprise Investment Schemes, Business Relief-qualifying investments and listed UK small and medium-sized company funds. We support our institutional investors to meet their investment mandates on behalf of their end investors, across five specialist asset classes: renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, real estate, healthcare and venture capital. Octopus Capital and Octopus Ventures are part of Octopus Investments. *As at March 2025 Funds Under Management data includes undrawn commitments, funds under advisory mandates and funds monitored, and is based upon the latest information available at the time of the calculation. The figure includes Octopus Investments, Octopus AIF Management and Octopus Investments Australia. Octopus Investments Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We encourage you to follow Simon Rogerson, Founder & CEO of Octopus Group: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonrogerson/ We’re entrepreneurs and we’re investors, on a mission to back the people, ideas and industries that will change the world. As entrepreneurs, we build our own businesses to address some of society’s biggest problems. Octopus Energy, our energy transition business, is the best example of this. At our core, we believe that how a company behaves is just as important as what it does. That’s why we chose to become an accredited B Corp (the equivalent of a Fairtrade coffee stamp but for companies) and to change our Articles of Association so that the interests of all our stakeholders – employees, customers, communities, environment and shareholders – are considered in every decision we make. Octopus Investments, Octopus Energy, Octopus Money, Seccl Technology, Aurora and Octopus Legacy are all part of Octopus Group.
