Green Dream with Victory Hill’s Fraser-Smith: Investors don’t ask enough questions

Eleanor Fraser Smith, head of Sustainability at Victory Hill Capital Partners, says she’s frustrated by the lack of questions on impact and stewardship.

Green Dream: So previously, you’ve spoken about the need for investors to ask tough questions. What kind of questions are Victory Hill being asked at this point in time?

Eleanor: I think that’s where my frustration comes from, because I’m not. I’m not asked very many questions. We go to meet a lot of investors and I don’t get a lot of questions about impact and about stewardship. We spend a lot of time talking to our investors. Our strategy’s a little different because we don’t invest in one technology and one place where technology is diverse, we’re looking at the whole spectrum of energy transition and we’re also globally diverse. So there’s an awful lot of conversations that we have about our strategy and our objectives and the impact we’re trying to have. But I don’t get the kinds of questions I think I should be getting.

In this Green Dream interview, Eleanor Fraser-Smith urges investors to ask tough questions about the interconnected nature of the global transition, and explains the investment opportunities in carbon capture technology.
