A new operation in the social
Oltre suggests an innovative model of social investment which is totally different from the to-date commonly known "ethical funds".

Ethical Funds generally identify the socially responsible funds on the basis of "exclusion criteria" (for example the choice to exclude from the investment-portfolio companies involved in armament, tobacco or gambling activity) or simply selecting companies on the basis of "compliance" criteria by virtue of law and shareholder protection.

Oltre stays aloof from the above models offering a pro-active social investment, addressed to new experimental initiatives and new modalities of intervention with a high impact social change and immediate results.
