What’s inside the report
  • As investor sophistication grows, many are turning to private markets to pursue broader objectives, ranging from net-zero targets to impact investing across a range of sectors.
  • As LPs worldwide commit to net-zero targets, three key objectives emerge: cutting portfolio emissions, increasing exposure to net-zero- aligned companies, and financing and scaling critical climate technologies.
  • A look at how leading allocators — including the Washington State Investment Board and CalSTRS — are aligning private markets climate strategies with their specific risk tolerance, return goals, and broader asset-allocation frameworks.
  • How integrating emissions data alongside financial metrics to calculate KPIs — such as total financed emissions and weighted average carbon intensity — demands significant data aggregation.

“Chronograph’s technology has allowed us to capture and structure more than seven million data points from our portfolio, and we feel the LP solution is unique in its ability to capture such a rich and complete data set.”

“As secondaries investors, we are investing in hundreds of funds and thousands of companies. This means our data scales up in a very rapid way. We’ve found that unlocking our data and prioritizing its value in our investment cycle has helped us become better investors.”

“Having worked with Chronograph and incumbent solutions at prior firms, I’ve seen firsthand how Chronograph drives value for stakeholders. It was critical for us to implement Chronograph as early as possible. The platform has been an integral part of our technology stack since day one and continues to support key data management processes within Knox Lane.”

“Chronograph acts as a critical hub for our data collection, valuation, and reporting processes. We are constantly collaborating with the Chronograph team to discover new capabilities and expand our use case.”

“Chronograph’s flexible data collection and reporting technology has enabled us to harmonize KPIs and deepen insights across our portfolio. Our investment, value creation, and finance teams can all easily collaborate with consistent and trusted data.”

“We knew we needed to streamline data collection from our portfolio companies to improve operational efficiency. We wanted a tool that allowed for full flexibility in complicated workflow design and delivered a modern user experience. With Chronograph, we can pivot on a dime and collect additional data as needed.”
