SLR sets out next phase of growth for Finance Advisory

SLR sets out the next phase of growth for Finance Advisory, helping investors turn sustainability into stronger investment decisions and long-term resilience.

SLR brings together its Finance Advisory capabilities under an expanded global offering to help investors and financial institutions navigate some of the world's largest investment opportunities and challenges, from energy transition and security, resilient infrastructure and critical minerals, to nature and biodiversity, supporting better capital allocation, investment decisions and portfolio performance.

SLR Finance Advisory helps investors and financial institutions turn sustainability ambition into action across funds, transactions, portfolios and assets. The team combines strategic and commercial advice informed by a broad advisory perspective and specialist depth, digital capability and real-world implementation experience to help clients turn complex sustainability risks and opportunities into practical action.

With an 80% increase in the number of projects taken on in the past 24 months, there is clear demand from financial institutions, investors and asset managers for sustainability advice that connects strategy with delivery. Drawing on SLR’s global network of more than 5,000 engineers, scientists and social performance specialists, Finance Advisory gives clients direct access to the expertise needed to assess risk, identify opportunity and strengthen resilience.

SLR Finance Advisory brings together the established market credibility and specialist capabilities from the acquisitions of Malk Partners and IBIS Consulting Group. Drawing on a global team that has supported clients on more than 2,500 due diligence, transactions and investment decisions in the past 24 months, this integrated offer supports private markets, development finance institutions, banks, asset managers, insurers, asset owners and portfolio companies with practical, commercially focused sustainability advice and decision-ready support.

Malk Partners is now fully integrated with SLR, bringing its market-leading private equity ESG and value creation expertise into a single, globally connected Finance Advisory offering. Together with the successful integration of development finance and emerging markets specialist IBIS Consulting Group, SLR has established a strong presence in major financial centres in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, combining investment, sustainability and technical expertise to support clients globally.

Operating across the investment lifecycle, SLR helps investors and financial institutions make better decisions, manage risk and create value. The team supports clients from due diligence and investment strategy through to portfolio monitoring, value creation and implementation, combining strategic advisory with on-the-ground operational insight. These capabilities are strengthened by SLR’s digital and modelling tools, including the recent acquisitions of Planetrics and ClimSystems, helping clients quantify value-at-risk and climate-related risks and opportunities across portfolios and assets.

“Our work with more than 800 financial sector clients gives us a strong platform for growth. We are building a globally connected business that can combine strategic advice with specialist insight, digital capability and practical implementation, supporting clients from their initial capital allocation and fund formation decisions through to action at portfolio, asset and site levels.”
