Traditional assets are getting more expensive – and more volatile.
Nature is emerging as a real asset with distinct value drivers, offering potential diversification where it’s increasingly hard to find.
Liberty explains why investors are paying attention.

Natural capital offers four returns: financial, natural, social, and inspirational.

It’s not charity, it’s performance with purpose.

Global warming = colder UK winters? Sounds backwards.

But as Ruby explains, melting Arctic ice can disrupt the AMOC—a major ocean current—making UK winters colder, not warmer.

This is climate change. And it’s already happening.

When we invest in Nature, we get more than impact.
We get:
– Resilience
– Higher quality resources
– Sustainable growth
Kirsty makes the case for why Nature is the growth engine we’ve been overlooking.

We’ve always known Nature helps.

Now we can prove it.

Liberty explains how we’re putting a value on the health and climate benefits Nature provides — and why that changes how we invest in it.

Sphagnum moss can absorb up to 20x its weight in water.
It filters, holds, and slows water — making it a natural flood barrier and water purifier.

One of Nature’s smallest, most powerful tools.
