risks.

The following risks may be materially relevant but may not always be adequately captured by the summary risk indicator and may cause additional loss: Concentration risk, Emerging market risk and Active management risk. Sustainability risks may lead to a significant deterioration in the financial profile, profitability or reputation of an underlying investment and may therefore have a significant impact on its market price or liquidity. The environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) considerations discussed herein may affect an investment team’s decision to invest in certain companies or industries from time to time. Results may differ from portfolios that do not apply similar ESG considerations to their investment process.

Planetary transition

the defining mega trend of the 21st century 


The global economy is transitioning to a model that leverages the vast value-creation potential of sustainability. This shift to what we believe will be a ‘CLIC®’ economy that is Circular, Lean, Inclusive and Clean will change industries, disrupt profit pools and impact all investors.

Please note before 1 May 2023, the fund was previously named Silvercrest – Climate Transition.

the market opportunity.

It’s being driven by the transformation of three major systems and the pricing of externalities, offering opportunities to capture green alpha.Within these system changes, will see major disruptions across industries in the years to come. We believe businesses that are responding to existential challenges across energy, land and oceans, materials and carbon could thrive.

1 We refer to “Green Alpha” where companies are likely to perform better financially in an environmentally-aligned scenario, compared to consensus. To assess green alpha, we assess market tipping points linked to emerging regulation, cost-down curves, and the pricing in of environmental externalities. Based on this analysis, we aim to describe, quantitatively or qualitatively, total addressable market (TAM) potential. Where companies are exposed to TAMs that are likely materially in excess of market consensus, we consider such companies to be exposed to green alpha. Although we believe there are investable opportunities related to these transitions, there can therefore be no guarantee of excess performance.

If the funds are denominated in a currency other than that in which the majority of the investor's assets are held, the investor should be aware that changes in rates of exchange may affect the value of the funds' underlying assets. The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk.
