Sustainability and transition research

Rigorous fundamental research into power demand growth, electrification, and industrial transformation drives Covalis' ability to identify high-quality businesses and anticipate inflection points across the energy and infrastructure landscape. Deep knowledge of complex regulatory, policy, and market structure frameworks enables the investment team to identify and navigate material operational, capital allocation, and demand-shift risks. Proprietary research into power markets, electrification, and industrial transformation is embedded at every stage of Covalis' fundamental investment process.

Strategies

Engagements

Constructive engagements are used to proactively enhance issuers' capabilities, supporting C-level executives and relevant stakeholders to unlock value, achieve targets, and address material risks.

The team believes that monitoring issuers' strategic positioning across power markets, electrification, and industrial transformation — as well as material operational, regulatory, and capital allocation risks — is key to capital preservation and alpha generation. Governance considerations also play a role in Covalis' proxy voting decisions.
