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.
Learn more about the key climate considerations of this asset class across both its challenges and opportunities by watching our webinar that explores:
- Why illiquidity particularly matters in the context of market pricing risks
- What physical and transition risks and opportunities are private assets particularly exposed to
- How climate scenario analysis be utilized against private assets can enhance investment strategies and portfolio resilience
