Climate Growth Partners

Investing in innovative technologies that aim to potentially accelerate the de-carbonisation and de-pollution of industries

We invest in ideas that can impact their industries and markets

Our Climate Growth Partners venture capital strategy invests in early stage companies that aim to potentially accelerate de-carbonisation and de-pollution across four verticals:

Power Transformation

The power system (from generation, to transmissions to consumption) is being rewired, giving consumers more control of their energy usage.



Transport Electrification

A new category of infrastructure – vehicle charging – could be optimised with software technology to allow improved ease of use.



Supply Chain Sustainability

New technology is making it potentially possible to assess, optimise and clean up how we source and move goods, grow food and use materials.



Climate Risk Mitigation

Specifically designed solutions could be needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change, especially for geographies that are vulnerable to environmental disasters.

Key Risks

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise. You may not get back the full amount invested.

Further information on the potential risks can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KID) and/or the Prospectus or Offering Memorandum.

The Fund seeks to invest in private, early-stage companies with focus on climate-related innovation and infrastructure. Such investments are highly risky, illiquid and speculative. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The performance of the Fund depends on the successful execution of its strategy and the performance of its underlying investments.

  • Market risk: Investments may be affected by political, environmental, or economic developments. Climate-related themes may be subject to policy changes, technological disruptions, or regulatory shifts
  • Venture capital and liquidity risk: Investments in unquoted or early-stage companies may be hard to value and difficult to sell. There may be no secondary market, and investors should expect a long-term investment horizon
  • Other risks include: lack of transparency, valuation uncertainty, key-man risk, potential or total loss of capital, and limited regulatory oversight

These products are intended only for professional investors with the experience and the capacity to bear such risks.
