About the Catalytic Investment Exchange

Accelerating capital flows to economies most vulnerable to the risks and realities of climate change is core to implementing climate transition across the global economy. In emerging and frontier markets, investing in the transition has the potential to support critical climate adaptations, from the delivery of renewable energy sources and improvements in energy efficiency to the enhancement of economic infrastructure and resilience to the effects of global warning.

To help clients and investors around the world navigate the energy transition, we’re launching the Catalytic Investment Exchange (CIX). The CIX will bring together deal sponsors and direct investors and will seek to enable effective and efficient due diligence. It provides potential investors a digital due diligence review platform and the opportunity to connect directly with deal sponsors.

The focus is on green infrastructure, green and clean technology, biodiversity and natural capital. Register your interest by emailing CIX@mercer.com to take part in an initiative which has the potential to drive direct investment in climate projects around the world.

Participation is easy and free to both investors and deal sponsors. Deal sponsors complete a questionnaire, and those responses are then made available to direct investors. Investors can conduct their own due diligence of deals based on the information available in CIX, and those who are interested in discovering more about a specific deal can choose to connect directly with deal sponsors. 
  1. Deal sponsors complete a questionnaire.
  2. Deal information is made available on the CIX platform.
  3. Institutional investors register and log in to the platform to view project profiles and conduct due diligence.
  4. Institutional investors connect with deal sponsors of interest.
This graphic shows the process that an investor will following when looking at an investment deal. Investors can filter the list of deals based on criteria such as country, size and asset class. Once they examine a deal they can decide whether or not they would like to meet the deal sponsor. The platform provides the investors with the ability to provide feedback that will be presented to the deal sponsor in an aggregated anonymized way.
