Sustainable Asset Managers Caucus Meeting (Invite only)

The case continues to grow for investing in climate-focused assets both as a hedge against physical risk and extreme weather losses and as an area of opportunity. For example, new research shows that companies with green revenues grow two times faster than conventional business lines, and their cost of capital is typically lower. Firms generating more than 50 percent of their revenues from green markets often enjoy valuation premiums of 12-15 percent on capital markets, reflecting investor confidence in their long-term resilience and profitability. That said, leading asset managers advancing sustainability solutions continue to be seen as the bleeding edge rather than the leading edge. This session will bring together the sector’s major players to discuss scaling opportunities and develop recommendations for the Milken Institute Investors Roadmap project.
