SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE

We believe that the prevalence of short-termism in capital markets is the key reason that many investors pay insufficient attention to sustainability issues, such as climate change, corporate governance or human capital management. A key element of our research is in understanding global challenges. Since inception, we have conducted primary research on several global themes which we believe may have material implications for businesses and investments.

Brookstreet Hollins executes on its robust research platform to seek out those companies that we believe to be managed for the long term. Through integrating sustainability research with traditional financial analysis, we are able to identify companies whose current earnings are not borrowing from future earnings, or from the future well-being of society. A company’s long-term sustainability is further enhanced if its business is directly meeting some of the world’s greatest challenges. One of these challenges is the impact of climate change on today's modern investment markets.


Today there is broad international scientific consensus on climate change and its link to human activity. Climate change has crept up the corporate agenda to become one of the most important factors affecting the long-term operating environment for business. Increasingly, investors are beginning to price this into their investment decisions and allocate capital to companies that are fully integrating climate change considerations into their strategies, cultures and operations as a means of risk management, cost cutting and revenue maximization.


Only in the past 5-10 years have certain multinational companies begun to experiment with new business models, products, and services in order to position itself for opportunities in line with these new market forces. Understanding how a company thinks about markets provides key insight into new growth opportunities in terms of a business quality indicator, and a company's leadership and ability to innovate as a management quality indicator.

CLIMATE SOLUTIONS

Brookstreet Hollins launched the US Cleantech Fund in ca. 2015 in order to focus specifically on climate solutions through the implementation of resource efficiency and related technologies, for the most part seeking to capitalize on opportunities to invest in growth stage private and publicly listed businesses that are generating value by contributing towards the transition to a low carbon sustainable economOPP



OPPORTUNITIES

Brookstreet Hollins believes that the transition to a low carbon sustainable economy is steadily progressing. Resource scarcity, volatile commodity prices, extreme weather events, climate change and an unprecedented rise in numbers of the global middle class, means that sustainability and solutions which drive productivity—enabling us to do more with less—are more urgent than ever. We believe that sustainability is an imperative which extends across the whole economic system thereby creating significant investment opportunities.


APPROACH

The US Cleantech Fund seeks to invest in businesses that create value by enhancing resource productivity while reducing pollution, waste and emissions . We seek to make predominantly minority equity investments, with an emphasis on European and North American businesses. The strategy entails investing in both private and listed growth stage companies that have demonstrated commercial traction.


Key sectors of focus include, but are not limited to:

•Agricultural and Forestry Solutions

•Behavior Change

•Bio-based Fuels, Plastics and Chemicals

•Building Efficiency

•Consumer Solutions

•Efficient Power Storage and Distribution

•Industrial Efficiency

•IT and Data Efficiency

•Recycling and Resource Sharing

•Renewable Energy

•Sustainable Mobility

•Smart Water Solutions


Strategic Value for Companies

The US Cleantech Fund provides growth capital which can help companies scale and deploy their solutions, while offering access to a global research platform dedicated to understanding long term business, economic and sustainability challenges.

......to me, Brookstreet Hollins leveraging their vision into a Clean Technology Fund helps explain how and why some of the top firms were brought in as partners, (and could be afforded) by Freschfield.
