About Michael Garcia
Exclusively focused on thematic and sustainable-investing since 1997. Commercially driven thematic & sustainable investment leader, strategist, and business development professional. Track record of fundamental investing, advisory, building thematic businesses, developing strategic investment and business vision, translating trends into investment opportunities and a holistic product range, building and scaling multi-asset class investment programs, raising assets & developing/coaching talent. Deep understanding of the trends shaping societal, technological, economic, environmental and political outcomes over the next 5-25 years. Career has stretched across the asset manager (Nordea and Motif), asset owner (CPP Investments) and consultant communities (WTW). As an investment leader, I’ve lived and worked in several countries around the world, gaining international experiences in Denmark, The United Kingdom, Canada, India, China and The United States. I am passionate about building and scaling businesses/practices, long-term investing, developing strategies and product to capitalize upon trends, working with a team to shape positive real-world outcomes and believe that the best strategy can be built with an empowered and imaginative team that’s aligned to a compelling vision. Strong believer that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a generational investment opportunity.
