The Curve co-founder Victoria Harris has taken the financial education platform a step further, launching an investment fund designed with women investors in mind.

Speaking to Good Returns TV, Harris says The Curve Fund is the next stage in a business which started as a podcast five years ago and has since expanded into online courses, corporate education, events and talks.

The fund follows The Curve’s acquisition of Elevation Funds Management. The manager has been renamed The Curve Investments and the Elevation Global Shares Fund has become The Curve Fund.

Harris says the move solves a problem The Curve encountered after educating women about investing.

“We were educating women, but for the ‘doing’ part they were being sent elsewhere and getting confused all over again,” she says.

The global equities fund will favour female-led, founder-led and “future-focused” businesses – an approach Harris calls its “FFF”.
