Rockefeller Asset Management Awarded PRI’s ESG Research Report of the Year
24.9.2019 09:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Rockefeller Asset Management, a division of Rockefeller Capital Management, was awarded the prestigious Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Research Report of the Year award for its report, Applying Scenario Analysis to Actively Managed Strategies, which analyzes climate-related risks and opportunities within investment portfolios. Rockefeller was the only U.S. investment manager nominated for the award. The research report originated from the Firm’s participation in the UN Environment Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) where Rockefeller Asset Management worked in tandem with 20 global asset managers and asset owners on the pilot project aimed to guide investors on reporting along the Task Force for Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations using scenario-based methods for climate risk assessment.
“As the sole U.S.-based asset manager to have participated in the UNEP FI working group, as well as the sole U.S.-based asset manager to have been shortlisted for the PRI award, I am pleased to see our investment team’s pioneering work gain recognition in a field historically led by international organizations,” said Casey Clark, Managing Director, Director of ESG Research and Engagement at Rockefeller Asset Management. “Moreover, as new entrants into ESG grow daily, we are delighted to be recognized as a long-standing thought leader, seeking to generate excess returns and elevate ESG standards globally through ESG-integrated research and shareholder engagement.”
The award underlines Rockefeller’s commitment to ESG investing that dates back to the 1970s, when several of the Firm’s patrons contended that investment decisions have environmental, social and financial dimensions.

Clearwater Analytics Benchmarks Private Credit Strategy, Performance, and Risk Across Institutional Portfolios24.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Clearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN) today released Credit Where It’s Due: The Persistent Rise of Private Credit, its first comprehensive study of how private credit has reshaped institutional portfolios. The report draws on holdings and transactions data from the Clearwater platform, which spans $10 trillion in institutional assets across 60 asset classes. It documents private credit exposure, examines how the asset class has contributed to returns, and identifies where investment risks concentrate. The findings challenged a narrative centered on systemic contagion. Instead it found the systemic risks were idiosyncratic, concentrated on specific balance sheets that are largely hidden from investors without the right infrastructure. “At Clearwater, we are no strangers to the rise of private credit. Assets on our platform have grown nearly 20% over the last two years alone,” said Kirat Singh, President of Risk and Alternative Assets at Clearwater Analytics. “This report was born from what
