Terra Nova Capital
Terra Nova Capital is the investment advisor to the Evli Emerging Frontier Fund. The boutique investors distinguish themselves by meeting every single company before investing, analyzing alpha-accretive ESG factors in their company assessment, and engaging with companies through active ownership to unlock value.

In order to get deeper immersion in the markets in which they invest, the investment duo spent 12 months living in 12 different emerging markets with their families, a project which was featured in a Bloomberg News article and a Bloomberg Odd Lots podcast. They have received a great deal of positive feedback on their entertaining and widely-read trip reports which they publish on their website.
