The world is facing escalating crises. These forces are driving immense suffering, with disproportionate harm to the world’s most vulnerable.

After decades of steady societal progress, momentum has stalled. This decade, gains across several metrics have ground to a halt, and as aid budgets have shrunk in recent years, most indicators have begun to regress.

Millionaires hold nearly half of global financial assets, and the top end of private wealth continues to grow. If mobilised and prioritised well, this capital could contribute to significant progress on a whole range of global priorities, while crowding in further resources from governments, institutional investors, and funders.

Polycapital Academy, in collaboration with Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, is part of a larger movement that is transforming how private wealth contributes to a world we would be happily born into at random. Together, we are equipping wealth holders, advisors, and philanthropy and private wealth professionals with crucial insights, confidence, and skills to rise to the occasion.
