Craig Metrick to be a panelist on “The ESG Conundrum”.

Investing in environmental, social and governance goals are quickly gaining traction in private markets. As per a report published by Preqin in October 2021, asset managers committed to ESG investing now oversee an aggregate of $3.1 trillion or 36% of the value of total global private market assets*.

However, the research firm also, noted that managers and asset owners are struggling to integrate ESG metrics and goals into their investments because of greenwashing. As per industry experts, in order for private capital to succeed in this space, this issue must be addressed. The lack of standardization makes it increasingly difficult for investors across the spectrum to fact check the claims of private capital firms.

Given the outlined shortcomings, are the opportunities presented by the public markets a safer and promising avenue for ESG investments? Or is private capital the future of ESG?
