Capital owners

Additional research and assessment capacity for foundations, endowments and institutional investment teams.

Fund managers

Product development and institutional investor intelligence for energy transition, natural capital and impact funds.

Public institutions

Assessment of financing mechanisms and programme design that connects public objectives with investment requirements.

Substantive answers.

01

Fund & product development

Develop an investment thesis into a defined fund proposition. We assess the target market, portfolio approach, financial model, fund economics and governance, and test how the proposition fits institutional investor requirements. Coverage includes energy transition and natural capital funds across equity and credit strategies.

Typical outputs

Investment thesis · Product design · Fund model

02

Fund & investment assessment

Evaluate a manager, fund or investment opportunity against the client’s objectives. We examine the strategy, underlying exposures, team, economics, governance and impact approach, and identify the evidence needed for an investment decision.

Blended finance & facility design

Design financing mechanisms that address a specific investment barrier. We examine capital structure, risk allocation, parallel funds, outcome incentives and technical assistance, translating an initial concept into options for institutional discussion and implementation.
