The Butterfly Effect: Harnessing and Preserving the Power of Nature
Alina Donets - Portfolio Manager

Natural capital is an aggregation of the most valuable assets that humanity holds. It's everything from the earth, the air and water, as well as the entire ecosystem and biodiversity held by our planet. And nature is our most productive asset – all types of industry and sectors rely on nature – yet it has been completely mismanaged and under-appreciated.

In this video, Alina Donets, Portfolio Manager, talks to Lawrence Gosling, editorial director at Bonhill Group, about the importance of natural capital and why it presents a significant investment opportunity. Key topics include:

  • Why the transition of natural capital is best represented by a butterfly: with one wing harnessing the power of nature via the circular bio-economy; while the other wing focuses on preserving nature through more conscious consumption, leaner forms of industry and resource efficiency. 

  • Investing in solutions to help preserve natural capital is not only a way to preserve economic prosperity, but is also an opportunity to tap into attractive growth opportunities and long-term sustainable financial performance. 

  • How Lombard Odier’s Natural Capital investment strategy seeks to leverage opportunities from this transition to a leaner form of industry and bio-circular economy.
