Making an impact

The past 12 months have seen a steady increase in impact-related
fundraising, be it through established sponsors launching new
impact funds or emerging managers entering the market with fresh
strategies.


Climate impact investing in particular has never been more
relevant in Europe, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February
2022 driving a renewed focus on energy security and energy
storage.


Alongside the interview with Sjåtil, Harriet Matthews hosts
private equity and business services reporter Wahida Ahmed to
discuss impact fundraising and dealmaking over the course of this
year, and where the market is headed in 2023.
