Zug, 10 December 2025 – Capital Dynamics, an independent global private asset management firm, is pleased to share that it has achieved outstanding results in the 2025 United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (“UN PRI” or “PRI”) Transparency Assessment. The Firm received Five Stars – the highest rating available - in every category evaluated, placing it well above the PRI benchmark and reinforcing its long-standing leadership in Responsible Investment (“RI”).
The recognition follows another strong achievement for the firm: Capital Dynamics’ Clean Energy platform was recently named sector leader in the 2025 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). Together, these results highlight the firm’s sustained commitment to sustainability, transparency, and innovation in this area.
Each year, the PRI Transparent Assessment reviews how signatories incorporate RI considerations into their investment processes and governance practices. With participation exceeding 3,000 signatories in 2025, reaching top scores has become increasingly demanding. Capital Dynamics’ performance reflects the firm’s rigorous approach to RI in a landscape of rising expectations and evolving market standards.
“Capital Dynamics has proudly supported the PRI since 2008.” commented Martin Hahn, Chief Executive Officer at Capital Dynamics. “Receiving Five Stars across the board in this year’s assessment - and the exceptional GRESB results for our Clean Energy business – underscores the expertise and dedication of our teams. We remain committed to enhancing our Responsible Investment practices to deliver long-term, sustainable value to our clients.”
Responsible Investment principles are embedded throughout the firm’s Private Equity and Clean Energy strategies, including underwriting, due diligence, investment decision-making, and ongoing asset management. The firm’s proprietary R-Eye™ Rating System further strengthens this approach by identifying sustainability risks and opportunities and enhancing accountability and transparency for clients.
“Frameworks such as PRI and GRESB give investors the clarity they need to recognize managers who truly integrate ESG into their work,” commented Verena Rossolatos, Director Head of Client Relations and Chair of Responsible Investment Committee. “Our consistent performance in this assessment reflects our strong culture and reinforces our position as a trusted partner focused on long-term, responsible value creation.”
