Our client, one of Europe’s largest development banks was assessing a commitment to a Green Fund promoted by an India-based private equity firm. There was also a need to evaluate the robustness of the Green Fund’s proposition and strategy. With Avalon’s intervention, the Client was able to gain a deep insight into the relative attractiveness of four Green Sectors and the real opportunity available to deploy an opex-led business model. Avalon also evaluated the investment rationale for the four platform companies that the Green Fund had already invested in. Based on the diligence exercise, the client has invested about EUR 114 million in the Green Fund.
