Climate Asset Management
HSBC Global Asset Management and Pollination have partnered with the ambition to create the world’s largest dedicated natural capital asset management company. Climate Asset Management intends to establish a series of natural capital funds, investing in a diverse range of activities that preserve, protect and enhance nature over the long-term, and address climate change. As the global economy shifts and the race to decarbonise assets, sectors and entire economies intensifies, there is growing demand for nature-based solutions to climate change that also diversify investment risk and offer attractive, long-term returns. The simple truth is understood: failing to invest in the resilience of nature means failing to invest in the resilience of the economy. Nature is now the most fertile investment we have. Climate Asset Management aims to offer investors a wide exposure to global natural capital themes in both emerging and developed markets. Investment themes will include: - Regenerative and sustainable agriculture - Sustainable forestry - Oceans, including sustainable fisheries, coastal restoration and blue carbon - Biodiversity and wildlife protection and restoration - Natural capital and real assets that generate carbon credits
