    Tamara Close, CFA: The Evolution of ESG Practices for Institutional Investors
    Jun 9 2025
    Nicole Gehrig speaks with Tamara Close, CFA, Senior Director of ESG Advisory for the Petra Funds Group, about the ongoing evolution of sustainable finance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices within the institutional investment landscape. Tamara reflects on her career path, including her time at PSP Investments, and shares key insights into the shifting perceptions and integration of ESG issues into mainstream investment strategies. The discussion covers how institutional investors have evolved and increased in sophistication when it comes to their ESG practices. It looks as well at the regional disparities in adoption, the distinct roles of public versus private markets, and the growing expectations placed on asset managers by institutional investors. Nicole and Tamara also examine the increasing demand for transparency, high-quality data, and measurable outcomes, from institutional investors emphasizing the maturation of considering ESG issues from a values-driven approach to a financially material integrated investment framework. Key Takeaways: • Institutional investors have progressed from values-based investing to fully integrating ESG issues into risk management frameworks, aiming to create real world impact through their investments. • Public markets are increasingly seen as a risk management play for institutional investors focusing on ESG issues, whereas private markets present more opportunities to deliver measurable impact. • Transparency and evidence-based results are essential requirements for credible ESG strategies. • There are key questions institutional investors can use to help assess a fund manager's ESG integration maturity.
