Booming demand from LPs motivated Brookfield to launch Global Transition Fund II, targeting $20bn, before BGTF I has realised any returns, president Connor Teskey says.

Franklin Templeton has invested $274bn of client capital into alternatives, but the Climate Alpha Opportunity Fund is its first climate private equity offering.

Addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation, the fund has received a $75m senior debt commitment from the European Investment Bank.

TPG is poised to launch its Rise Climate Infrastructure vehicle, seeing 'substantial opportunities' to build real assets 'within our current TPG Rise Climate portfolio'.

The firm has launched a seed fund and a climate growth fund, and has already made 10 investments, according to founder Tommy Stadlen.

The firm's Green Transition Fund will reach a final close in July, according to managing director Valerio Camerano.

Clean Transition II is part of Apollo’s effort to deploy $50bn into climate solutions by 2027, which is led by partner and head of sustainability and infrastructure Olivia Wassenaar.

Bregal Sphere, the recently launched impact arm of Bregal Investments, wants to be at the 'tip of the spear' in showing what high-quality carbon credits look like, says the new co-head of its nature-based solutions strategy.

Investment will be used to grow the firm's 'infrastructure, capital base, human capital and overall resources', according to a statement.

GEF, a 34-year-old impact firm, began raising the fund in 2021, according to a regulatory filing.
