Sustainability in Capital Markets: Financing The Transition To A Sustainable Low-carbon Economy

Cambridge Associates is featured in a new case study, “Sustainability in Capital Markets: Financing the Transition to a Sustainable Low-Carbon Economy,” produced by the High Meadows Institute and The Investment Integration Project (TIIP). This in-depth analysis explores how Cambridge Associates is helping institutional investors navigate the complex transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

The case study examines Cambridge Associates’ system-level investing strategies, which address climate change as a material economic risk and integrate sustainability into long-term portfolio construction. With over $70 billion in assets under management and more than $560 billion in assets under advisement, Cambridge Associates works with a diverse range of clients—including endowments, foundations, pension plans, and private clients—who seek mission-aligned investment solutions.

Highlighted in the report is Cambridge Associates’ evolution from responding to client demand for climate and impact integration to becoming the only U.S.-based signatory of the Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative (NZICI). The firm’s commitment to net-zero goals is reflected in its climate education programs, advanced manager assessment frameworks, and active engagement with industry organizations and policymakers.

The case study also details Cambridge Associates’ holistic approach to investing, which incorporates social and environmental equity considerations to ensure climate solutions benefit all communities. Through innovative product development, rigorous data collection, and thought leadership, Cambridge Associates supports clients in measuring and reporting portfolio emissions, driving real-world decarbonization, and contributing to systemic change.

This feature demonstrates Cambridge Associates’ position as a forward-thinking advisor, dedicated to building resilient portfolios that deliver performance, positive impact, and support healthier global systems.
