“You really want to feel that your GPs, the people you’re trusting with your assets, are aligned with your mission and values,” said Geeta Kapadia, Associate Treasurer and Director of Investments, Yale New Haven Health, for the PE Innovators in ESG Speak virtual event. “The decisions that we’re making from the investment perspective are with partners who are aligned with our underlying objectives, we should be able to identify the ones that are on the same page as us and are going to walk the talk with us.”

Mary Kathleen Flynn, Editor-in-chief, Mergers & Acquisitions, leads a panel of limited partners (LP) in discussions around the push by LPs to align investment strategy with Environmental, Social and Governance goals. Topics include considerations when investing in general partners (GP), LPs’ implementation of reporting and key performance indicator standards, roadmaps to value creation for LPs, and how the pandemic has affected growth. Watch the video to hear from Paul Yett, Managing Director & Director of ESG & Sustainability, Hamilton Lane, Geeta Kapadia, Associate Treasurer and Director of Investments, Yale New Haven Health, Eric Newman, OPEB CERF Pension Appointee, Investment Advisory Committee Member, City of Stamford.
