#20 Jan-Willem Ruisbroek, Managing Director Global Infrastructure & Private Natural Capital, APG

This episode of Leaders in Investment was recorded live on stage at the IPE Real Assets Infrastructure & Natural Capital Global Conference & Awards in Rotterdam. In the interview Jan-Willem is interviewed by IPE Real Assets Editor in Chief Richard Lowe. They discuss why pension funds should look to take back their power and invest for the long term, seeking strong societal value; how APG plans to grow its infra allocation from 6% to 10% of its portfolio by 2030; his conviction that geopolitical volatility should not cause investors to panic or change course and the parallels between what the energy transition looked like 10 or 15 years ago, to where biodiversity is now. This episode of Leaders in Investment is sponsored by UBS. ‘The truth is that the threat to biodiversity is a bigger threat to us as humankind than the energy transition.’ In this podcast series from IPE and IPE Real Assets, members of our editorial team speak to leading figures in the institutional investor community to curate a library of in-depth, focused content.  Conversations with chief investment officers and other asset-owner leaders will range across beliefs, objectives, investment philosophy, strategy and outlook.
