The Nordic placement agent for private capital raising

Our adaptation of sustainability rests on the definition set out by the Brundtland Commission in 1987: development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We regard this not as an abstract ideal but as a practical test that capital allocation must pass. Sustainable investing, in our view, is the deliberate direction of capital toward assets, companies, and infrastructure that satisfy this test while delivering returns commensurate with their risk. We do not believe the two objectives are in conflict. The transition to a sustainable economy requires investment on a scale that only institutional capital can provide, and it generates long-dated, tangible opportunities well suited to investors with long-term liabilities. Our work is therefore focused on connecting institutional investors with fund managers whose strategies contribute to this transition, and for whom sustainability is a source of value rather than a constraint upon it.
