Palisade Real Assets

Palisade Real Assets was established in 2021 and is a mid-market manager focusing on real asset investments that are adjacent to traditional core infrastructure sectors.  These are investment opportunities that for many “fall in the gap” between infrastructure, real estate and private equity.  Palisade Real Assets considers investments on a global basis and focuses on four key themes of digitisation, decarbonisation, urbanisation and logistics.

Palisade Real Assets employs a top down thematically focused origination process that is blended with a bottom-up and targeted asset characteristic filter, as shown in the figure below.

Imbedded Operational Capability

The Palisade Real Assets platform is built around a high-quality team of industry and infrastructure veterans that bring a unique mix of backgrounds and experiences.  Significant operational capability is imbedded in the team, with a dedicated c.9 person investment and technical team complimented by a UK based development and operational asset management team of around c.45 people.  The operational team is branded Eco2 Management Services Limited (or “EMSL”) and further information can be found at: http://www.eco2uk.com.

The EMSL operational team has a long track record of developing and managing high-performing energy transition assets from conception through to the ongoing operational asset management phase.  Furthermore, the operational team drives substantial and unique deal flow, enables a focus on complex opportunities that have multiple value propositions and delivers economies of scale on smaller assets.
