Driven by governments, corporations and consumers, sustainability and solving the move to carbon net zero by 2050 will be one of the most important and lucrative global secular investment trends over the next decade. Family offices and High Net Worth's are increasingly allocating capital to this developing investment trend however, as with all new high growth sectors, it will be critical to find and invest in the right management teams with scalable solutions that will have a material impact towards a low carbon economy. Chrystal Capital is focused on finding, vetting and presenting the best emerging companies that will be pivotal to accelerating climate transition to solve the impending crisis and simultaneously deliver significant shareholder returns in the process.

In addition to strong management and operational fundamentals, we also focus on a company's ability to manage the risks and opportunities in its particular market, as well as its environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunity credentials, which we believe will be critically important, alongside the financials and potential investment return profile.
