ESG Outlook: The latest trends in private markets

Despite growing resistance from some quarters, and a rapidly changing investment landscape affected by geopolitical instability, rising interest rates and cost of living and energy security, ESG-related assets under management are rising and growing in importance. Although there is tighter ESG scrutiny, private market stakeholders acknowledge the significance of embedding ESG considerations into their investment decision making and LP scrutiny continues unabated. This shift in momentum, as well as how to address the key challenges for the private markets community in the region, will be discussed by our panel of industry leaders. 

  • What are the key ESG trends emerging in 2023/24?
  • Have we seen increased ESG implementation in the region? 
  • What are the expectations on harmonisation of regulatory and reporting standards? 
  • How to address the risks surrounding transparency and accountability?
