Many institutional investors are increasingly tilting their allocations toward private assets, enticed by higher expected returns compared to listed asset classes and the potential for stable, long-term income streams.
Private assets can enable investors to diversify asset allocation, access unique opportunities, and protect against inflation. While private assets can be attractive for institutional investors with a long investment horizon, these assets also face unique climate-related challenges – such as long lock-in periods due to illiquidity, which calls for a prudent assessment of physical, transition and market pricing climate risks.
Join us for this webinar, where Koen de Reus and Tijmen Janssen from our Climate Scenarios & Sustainability Team will take a deep dive into the key climate considerations of this asset class - exploring both the challenges and opportunities across the following questions:
- Why does illiquidity particularly matter in the context of market pricing risks?
- What physical and transition risks and opportunities are private assets particularly exposed to?
- How can climate scenario analysis be utilized against private assets to enhance investment strategies and portfolio resilience?
