  11. Private Equity Funds: Early stage/Growth Capital • Venture Capital funds: • Early stage, institutional capital • Companies are often still “concept” • “Pre” revenue or still incipient revenues • Usually several VC firms collaborate • Exit or sale to larger PE funds, strategic or IPOs • Private equity funds • Growth capital, usually expansion of current revenues by accelerating growth (“accelerated organic growth”) • Capital to acquire similar companies, competitors (“buy and build”) • Pre-IPO capital • “Greenfield” projects, require debt • Infrastructure Funds • Project based special purpose companies • Usually “brownfield” • Significant debt requirements

  12. Some conclusions: Transition to low carbon economy • Key ingredients: • Stable fundamental economies • Strong regulatory support • Stable and long term vs infrequent or volatile • Long term carbon regime preferable • Financing requirements • Both debt and equity capital • Equity is critical for: • Early stage risk capital (VC) • Growth capital (PE) • Project based equity (PE) • Capital Markets • IPOs but also very important for private markets to function properly • “Supply” of institutional capital via pension funds and other, i.e. institutional capital, needs to be increased in “cleantech” and “low carbon” generally
