FCLTGlobal is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting long-term investment strategies to foster sustainable and prosperous economies. Established in 2016 by founding members CPP Investments, McKinsey & Company, BlackRock, Dow, and Tata Sons, FCLTGlobal evolved from the 2013 initiative ‘Focusing Capital on the Long Term’.

The organisation’s primary focus is to develop actionable research and tools that encourage long-term value creation for savers and communities. By collaborating with leading companies and investors worldwide, FCLTGlobal addresses the challenges of short-termism in business and investment decision-making. Its mission is to realign capital market behaviours to support enduring economic growth.

FCLTGlobal’s structure comprises a diverse membership of asset owners, asset managers, and corporations committed to long-term practices. The organisation is governed by a Board of Directors featuring senior leaders from member organisations, ensuring strategic alignment with its mission.

In relation to sustainable finance, FCLTGlobal emphasises the importance of long-term investment horizons as a foundation for economic stability and growth. Its research explores the connection between sustainable business practices and long-term value creation, providing insights into how companies and investors can integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their strategies.

FCLTGlobal offers a range of resources, including research reports, practical tools, and databases. Notable among these is the FCLTCompass, an annual benchmarking tool that tracks long-term investments on a global scale. This dashboard measures investment behaviours, providing data-driven insights into capital allocation trends and investment horizons.

Additionally, the organisation has developed the FCLT Gold Standard, a framework defining long-term-oriented practices for companies and institutional investors. This standard focuses on governance, incentives, engagement, and metrics, offering guidelines to foster sustainable value creation.

Through its collaborative approach, FCLTGlobal convenes business leaders and investors to address short-term pressures and promote strategies that prioritise long-term objectives. By providing research-based tools and fostering dialogue, the organisation aims to reshape capital markets to better serve the long-term interests of savers, companies, and communities worldwide.

FCLTGlobal’s mission is to focus capital on the long term to support a sustainable and prosperous economy.
