A5b: If we want to achieve the goals we have committed to, we will need to understand the impact of our investments. With #ESG alone we will not be able to tackle to global challenges, we need both – ESG and impact. #PrivateMarkets#MercerChats

A4b: At the same time, we need to keep in mind that the best sustainable infrastructure will not help us, if we don’t have the people using or paying for it. So, climate is key but as well as social. #MercerChats
A4a: Looking at #infrastructure, this is an absolute must-have for every one of us, and can’t be financed by public only; we need private capital to finance the gap for climate change. #MercerChats

@Mercer_INV A1a: Private markets have various built-in inflation-protection characteristics. Examples are the long-term #investment horizon, diversification across economic and business cycles for #privatemarkets or floating rates, and lower default rates for private debts. #MercerChats
The twin challanges of accelarting the ecological transition and building up sources of energy require enormous investments. This will be need financed through financial systems, largely capital markets. At #europeanforumalpbach we will discuss how to finance the green energy.
@ToddMcKissick I think, if all stakeholders (like they did for the vaccine) join efforts, spend money to innovative solutions we are able to fix the problem. collaboration and courage is needed
A7: Energy is the largest investable natural resources sector. This sector encompasses a wide range of business that produce, store, and transport a source of power or fuel. #MercerChats
