Private Debt fund managers are lagging on ESG implementation compared with other asset classes. From a survey conducted by Preqin to fund managers, only 11% of private debt fund managers are at the mature stage of the ESG implementation lifecycle, compared with 27% of private equity managers. Moreover, half of surveyed private debt managers do not require portfolio companies to report ESG metrics. The lack of quality ESG data was the main obstacle to implement an ESG policy for 68% of respondents. However, more than half of fund managers said their ESG implementation is in progress.
