Private markets key role in energy transition bets

LONDON: Private markets are emerging as a major force in energy-transition investing, while the much larger public markets are more receptive to fossil-fuel holdings, according to research from BloombergNEF (BNEF).

In fact, all forms of alternative asset management tracked by BNEF – spanning private equity, to private debt, real estate and infrastructure – are more exposed to low-carbon energy assets than to fossil fuels.
