The position opened at $25.66, with a 12-month range of $25.20 to $27.70.

The fund initiated a new position in NatWest Group plc (NWG) by purchasing 33,146 shares for roughly $494,000 in Q1; NWG opened at $17.52 on the trading day referenced, and the article notes fundamental metrics such as market cap (~$69.85B), a P/E of 9.32, a PEG of 0.96, and a beta of 0.92.

Impact Investors increased its holding in Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF (VGSH) by 24.6% to 76,389 shares, about 3.1% of its portfolio and roughly $4.47 million in value, ranking VGSH as the 9th largest position.
Impact Investors Inc. made a series of calculated moves in the first quarter, expanding its stakes in both fixed income and ESG-focused equity ETFs. The firm's largest bet remains on long-term Treasuries, with its SPDR Portfolio Long Term Treasury ETF (SPTL) position now worth roughly $13.61 million — about 9.5% of its total portfolio, according to Ticker Report.
At the same time, the firm added shares in Nuveen ESG Large-Cap Growth ETF (NULG), initiated a brand-new position in British bank NatWest Group (NWG), and pushed deeper into short-term Treasuries via Vanguard's VGSH. The moves paint a clear picture: Impact Investors wants exposure across the yield curve, with a tilt toward ESG growth equities on the side.
SPTL Becomes the Portfolio's Biggest Single Bet
Impact Investors added 45,243 shares of SPTL during Q1, bringing its total to 517,490 shares. That makes SPTL the firm's single largest holding, according to Ticker Report. The ETF tracks long-term U.S. Treasury bonds — essentially a bet that interest rates will stay stable or fall.
The position opened at $25.66, within a 12-month range of $25.20 to $27.70. At a value of roughly $13.61 million, SPTL alone accounts for nearly one in every ten dollars the firm has deployed. That level of concentration signals strong conviction in long-duration government debt.
ESG Growth Exposure Climbs With NULG Addition
The firm added 4,544 shares of Nuveen ESG Large-Cap Growth ETF (NULG), lifting its total to 99,393 shares. NULG is now the 4th largest position in the portfolio, valued at roughly $9.04 million and representing about 6.3% of total holdings, per Ticker Report.
NULG focuses on large U.S. companies that meet environmental, social, and governance standards — often called ESG. That means the fund avoids certain industries and screens for responsible business practices. Impact Investors also holds iShares USD Green Bond ETF (BGRN), which it grew by 11.1% to 169,667 shares, making up 5.6% of the portfolio. Together, these moves show a deliberate lean toward sustainability-focused investing.
New NatWest Stake Adds International Banking Exposure
Impact Investors opened a fresh position in NatWest Group plc (NWG), the British bank, buying 33,146 shares for about $494,000. NWG opened at $17.52 on the day the position was reported. The bank carries a market cap of roughly $69.85 billion, according to Ticker Report.
NWG's fundamentals look attractive at current prices. Its price-to-earnings ratio sits at 9.32 — meaning investors pay about $9 for every $1 of earnings. Its PEG ratio of 0.96 suggests the stock may be undervalued relative to growth. A beta of 0.92 means it moves slightly less than the broader market. For Impact Investors, this is a low-volatility way to get international banking exposure.
Short-Term Treasury Stake Jumps Nearly 25% via VGSH
Impact Investors grew its Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF (VGSH) position by 24.6%, reaching 76,389 total shares. The holding is now worth roughly $4.47 million — about 3.1% of the portfolio — and ranks as the 9th largest position, per Ticker Report.
VGSH holds short-term U.S. government bonds, typically maturing in one to three years. These are considered very safe and less sensitive to interest rate swings than long-term bonds. By holding both SPTL and VGSH, Impact Investors is covering both ends of the Treasury curve — a strategy that hedges against uncertainty in rate direction while keeping capital in government-backed assets.
