In this episode, Julian Kölbel talks to Lena Hörnlein, a senior manager at B-Capital Partners. Their discussion revolves around the interaction between sustainable finance regulations, including SFDR, and the operational landscape of a fund exclusively centered on energy transition assets. Lena provides a detailed explanation of how the regulation works. Interestingly, Lena's fund has opted for Article 8 as opposed to Article 9, a decision grounded in caution. Ultimately, they conclude by underscoring the pivotal role of regulations in other domains, such as electricity markets, in expediting the progress of the energy transition.
