For family offices,
wealth managers and investment professionals
Carbon Equity is an energy transition private equity platform that enables investors to access top-tier energy transition funds and direct co-investments globally.
Different family offices need different energy investment exposure. We help you match your allocation to your objective: diversified access, specialist fund selection, co-investments, or a long-term path toward direct deals.

why carbon equity
What role do private markets play in your portfolio? Carbon Equity helps family offices build diversified exposure, co-invest in companies, develop in-house capability over time, or access specialist managers.
Stay close to the managers, companies and investment thinking that matter, while our specialist team handles sourcing, diligence and portfolio construction. Four reasons why family offices work with us:
-
If you want diversified exposure
One commitment can provide exposure to 6–8 specialist funds and 150–200 companies across Europe and the US, with AIFM governance, quarterly reporting and hands-off execution.
-
If you want to build capability over time
At qualifying commitment levels, engage with our investment team, share in diligence and learn how we source and underwrite deals. Stay close to the relationships while we do the heavy lifting. A path toward investing more directly over time.
-
If you want co-investments and company access
We have co-invested alongside our GP network since 2024 and launched a dedicated co-investment fund in 2026. Investors can explore selected opportunities, supported by investment memos and founder access; availability and allocations are not guaranteed.
-
If you want access to specialist managers
Our team selects and diligences energy-transition managers, including Capricorn, DCVC, Lightrock and Energy Impact Partners. An extension of your investment team focused on this specific market.
