Alternative thinking: a differentiated approach to ESG

Alternative thinking: a differentiated approach to ESG

Reflecting on the evolution of investor expectations in recent years, Maximilian Kufer (Head of ESG for Private Markets) noted that ESG has gone from a ‘nice-to-have’ to a ‘have-to-have’.

As investors look to alternative asset classes to help them navigate current market challenges, there are a series of key ESG questions they are asking themselves.

As temperatures rise and natural disasters become more frequent and severe, what are the risks for real estate investors? How can we use data and analytics to mitigate this?

Is it possible to meaningfully integrate ESG considerations when investing in private credit markets when the data simply doesn’t exist in the public sphere?

How can the incorporation of ESG criteria help investors get ahead when investing in the alternatives space?

At Invesco, we offer a diverse range of alternative solutions, from private credit to real estate and beyond. Each calls for a specialised and nuanced ESG approach.
