Thanks Professor. My philosophy is that there is no difference in value investing, growth investing, esg/impact/green investing. There is just investing in companies that create value (even if they are not able to capture that value), and in companies that steal value from society (and by definition capture that). I am only willing to invest in the former category because I am deeply convinced that the only way to be financially sustainable and survive in the long term is to actually make good in the world.
Yes this needs to be included as some terms in corporate finance and valuations textbooks. when my mba corporate finance 110 lecture starts with, "You know who are sugar dadds?" and ends with sentences like "sugar daddy effect inflates market valuations with disregard to underlying performance of the company". This is when I would say Mr.Damodaran won
Great points here as usual! Though I need to point out that the global growth in renewable energy (esp. solar and wind) has been exponential in the past 20 or so years, but since it has been from a very low starting base and it has happened while the aggregate total energy consumption has grown as well, it's still a low percentage of the whole. If the growth track continues as it has, the numbers will start looking very different in a few years. How far along different societies are depends on geography etc. as well of course. This doesn't mean that renewables as a whole are necessarily going to be a great financial investment in the future; that an industry grows doesn't automatically mean that there are many big winners if no-one has a big competitive advantage.
Thank you so much for this excellent and very insightful presentation! As a Norwegian, I feel the need to nitpick that our wealth fund should be called 'Oljefondet', 'The Oil Fund', or 'The Government Pension Fund'. 'Norges' means '... of Norway' in Norwegian, which is why you have for instance 'Norges Bank' meaning 'Bank of Norway' which I am sure is close to where you got the name :) Thank you again, your knowledge is invaluable!
Eye opener details, but the next day all I re-collect is "Mollasses Mummy and Glucose Guardians" . I wish my company suffers Diabetic Comatosis, with excess funding from these CVC's, SWF's ...
The great problem is that with free money comes little responsibility there's no need to have great green companies when the money just shows up regardless
The reason that countries across the world have collectively stayed away from nuclear energy is because it will lead to too much easy energy. This in turn will lead to a population explosion due to life becoming too easy. The other resources of the planet that humans require - water, good soil etc will still remain finite though and will not be able to support the massive population explosion due to easy energy.
What is the reason that in your list of biggest SWF's you list the Norwegian pension fund as a SWF. But the Dutch ABP (Dutch Government Pension Fund) is not listed (550Billion under management).
The easily offended should watch "weird science" and the newly adapted spinoff to this 80's classic, namely the ZH babe AI images where finance nerd bros gets to play with the computer.
"Molasses mommy" is my new favorite academic nomenclature.

It’s a pension fund , swf and pension funds have different objective plus risk appetite ….. other cppib wud have been covered as well
