“Today, we announced our full-year results for the year ended 31 March 2024. We have delivered another strong year of profitable growth as the Group benefitted from increasing demand for our higher margin retail vehicles and successful institutional fundraising activity from our private equity business. We have carried this strong earnings momentum into the current financial year, having already delivered c.£500 million in AUM growth in Q1 FY25. This increase was driven by the combination of further success in retail fundraising and the recent €300 million first close of our flagship energy transition fund, FEIP II, following improving sentiment in the institutional infrastructure fundraising market.” Bernard Fairman, Executive Chairman of Foresight Group Holdings Limited Read our annual report in full here: https://lnkd.in/eGRkUwS7

Rubina Singh, Senior Investment Manager in our ventures team, recently spoke at the Deeptech Forum at South Summit, discussing Foresight’s focus on early-stage deeptech. Event takeaways include: 👉 Startups, investors, research & academia, industry and the government are the five key factors to take deeptech from research to market 👉 De-risking at each stage and clarity on capital stack are the two key aspects that support a strong eco-system 👉 Deeptech will play a role in decarbonisation and transitioning to net-zero by commercialising alternative fuels and using advanced sensors, robotics, and AI platforms to speed up the discovery of new materials.
