In today’s evolving investment landscape, sustainable investing in private markets presents a unique opportunity for those seeking to balance financial returns with broader impact. In our latest white paper, Jessica Pilz, Head of Sustainable Investing for Fiera Private Markets, explores how sustainable investing in private markets can drive long-term performance value, strengthen resilience, and mitigate risks.

With each year that passes, the urgency for climate action increases. In 2024 it was reported that global temperatures rose past the 1.5ºC limit for a full year.1

This has already had catastrophic results with severe flooding, droughts, heatwaves and wildfires all over the world. Concurrently, the World Economic Forum published their 2024 Global Risk Report2 in January, highlighting that four out of the five most severe anticipated risks in the longer term are environmental. In addition to extreme weather events and critical changes to the Earth’s systems, these risks included biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and natural resource shortages. This comes at the same time as the President commits to reversing numerous environmental regulations and commitments implemented during his predecessor’s tenure.
