The role of C-PACE in sustainable investing
In PDI’s latest interview, Alexandra (Ali) Cooley, CIO and co-founder of Nuveen Green Capital, introduces Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) and how it can help institutional investors achieve financial and environmental impact.
With 74 percent of investors saying they consider or plan to consider the environmental and societal impact of their investment decisions in Nuveen’s 2023 global institutional investor survey, this asset class is quickly emerging to be more relevant now than ever before.
Other key topics discussed include:
- How Nuveen Green Capital was founded
- The shaping of C-PACE as an asset class
- The difference between C-PACE and other financing products
- The importance of C-PACE in the current environment
- What the future holds for C-PACE
- Case studies
The cool thing about C-PACE is every dollar we put out is going towards projects that the underlying state programme has said is a public benefit.
