Circa5000

CIRCA5000 (C5K) is Europe's first pure-play impact ETF issuer and a UK-based fintech platform enabling retail investors to put their money to work for the causes they care about. Originally launched as Tickr by co-founders Tom McGillycuddy and Matt Latham — both formerly of Barclays and Wellington — the company evolved from a thematic impact investing app into a fully regulated ETF issuer listed on the London Stock Exchange. CIRCA5000 targets the next generation of investors who want their portfolios to reflect their values across climate, health, equality, and other sustainability themes. The platform has attracted over 170,000 customers in the UK and raised more than £7 million in funding, including a €4.5 million crowdfunding campaign on CrowdCube in 2021. By combining direct consumer access with institutional-grade impact ETF products, CIRCA5000 occupies a distinctive position at the intersection of retail wealth management, sustainable finance, and ETF issuance.
