Recently, we have spent some time discussing the increasing
importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) on
companies' investment strategies and specifically the ways this
trend has been impacting the private markets. Over the past few
years, ESG has become more prominent in the private market space,
with investors and fund managers taking ESG-related topics under
consideration as they make their decisions.
As ESG becomes more prominent, firms struggle to gather the
information they need to make informed choices. There is no unified
standard for GPs to consider, and LPs are having a hard time
pulling together the data necessary to form an effective strategy.
According to a recent survey by Morgan Stanley, 23% of investors
identified the quality of ESG and sustainability data as their
biggest challenge.
Throughout our interactions with private market participants,
we've pinpointed the metrics they value most, and those that are
most relevant to due diligence and investment oversight
processes.
Today, we're sharing a report from Sarah Broderick, an Associate
Director for iLEVEL at IHS Markit in which she lays out the top 10
metrics that private equity funds should be gathering: Top 10 ESG Metrics
Private Equity Funds Should Collect
