Impact / Climate Private Equity - Information
Hi all,
I’m attracted by Impact / Climate Private Equity as feel it would give me greater fulfilment to know I’m not just contributing to the investors’ pockets but also (partially) to a greater good / a broader topic. Something like TPG Rise would be the perfect fit as they have both the stability of a bigger platform and the impact element.
Could any of you working in / knowledgeable about the field share with me resources / pieces of information that you feel would help me know more about it? Why did you go into it? Anything you feel is helpful context would be great, in general trying to inform my choice and also my points in a potential interview.
Thank you in advance.

I went into it because I didn’t know what I wanted to specialize in post-banking, wanted the MF prestige/pay, but didn’t want to hate my life and grind nonstop. In general I think the people working in impact are more genuine, though you have to make sure they actual care about the impact and it’s not just greenwashing. Better people = generally better culture = generally better WLB.
I also like that the impact angle is something we screen opportunities on, so I’m not having to look at everything like friends in MF/MM buyout. Like some stuff is just outside out mandate/gets kicked to our other funds.
And obviously having an impact makes me feel better about what I’m doing, though I’m just an associate so you don’t really see the impact of the companies/work as much.
Thank you very much for the reply!
Would you be able to suggest me a couple companies to look into which you think are / have seen regarded as "good" in their respective climate sub-theme vertical? Just to have some examples of what's "good" in these industries for a climate investor.
