HRH The Prince of Wales launches $10B Natural Capital Investment Alliance
The Alliance aims to accelerate the development of Natural Capital as an investment theme and to engage the $120 trillion investment management industry and mobilize this private capital efficiently and effectively for Natural Capital opportunities.
HSBC Pollination Climate Asset Management, a joint venture between HSBC Global Asset Management and specialist climate change advisory and investment firm Pollination, is establishing a series of Natural Capital funds, directly investing in the preservation, protection and enhancement of nature. Lombard Odier launched a first-of-its-kind global equities investment strategy for Natural Capital last year, directly inspired by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and developed in partnership with the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance, established under his Sustainable Markets Initiative. Mirova has established a Natural Capital platform proposing strategies in the field of land restoration, blue economy and forest protection with more than 30 experts.
The Alliance aims to attract members from the finance community to create scale, and synergistic bridges between mainstream asset owners and asset managers, underpinned by the following goals:
- • To mobilize $10 billion towards Natural Capital themes across asset classes by 2022.
- • To serve as a central hub for global corporations and financial institutions seeking to scale-up their investments into Natural Capital, in support of biodiversity restoration, including through Carbon Offsets.
- • To share investment knowledge and expertise to help mainstream the Natural Capital investment theme and demonstrate scalability of appropriate vehicles and the multiple opportunities across asset classes.
