How to Think About the Role of Private Capital in the Clean Transition
Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Sløk and Olivia Wassenaar, Head of Sustainability and Infrastructure at Apollo, engage in a thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion about the outsized and unprecedented investment opportunity that is the clean transition in a new episode of The View from Apollo podcast.
The world requires substantial investment in the transition to cleaner sources of energy. We view investment in the clean transition as an overarching theme rather than a specific asset class. Solutions will require investments across the capital stack and with all forms of capital—including equity, debt, and various real-asset structures—from both public and private sources.
After a tumultuous 2022, the US economic outlook for 2023 remains cloudy. Renewed uncertainty about inflation and the Fed means markets will continue to be volatile. With that in mind, we believe that infrastructure can offer key attributes—downside protection, low correlation to markets, potential protection against inflation—for investors deploying capital today.
