July 26 (Reuters) - British asset manager Schroders Plc said on Friday it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in impact investor BlueOrchard for an undisclosed sum.
Switzerland-headquartered BlueOrchard has about $3.5 billion in assets under management and focuses on impact investing, which involves putting money in projects that pay returns based on if they hit non-financial targets, often linked to social development or the environment.
