Energy Transition and Sustainable Investment Funds

This session will explore the financial aspects of paving the way for a net-zero future.

The transition to sustainability necessitates substantial involvement from fund structures, with both the private sector and government agencies playing significant roles in supporting this transformation. Governments and regulatory bodies are actively working to accelerate this process, for example, by creating new structures to facilitate DC pension investment in energy transition.

Renewable energy, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit fund managers are increasingly focusing on energy transition and sustainability as investment objectives for new fund strategies. They are aware of the priorities of institutional investors who recognise the significance of these areas in today's evolving landscape.

Even if you are not involved directly with investment funds, it is likely your clients will be involved in collaborating with, receiving investment from, financing or ensuring assets are investable by funds.
