E139 Andy Creak: Natural Capital: A Guide for Institutional Investors

Andy Creak isn’t here to talk about sustainability — he’s here to rewire finance itself.After decades building fintech platforms and taking on titans like Fidelity, Andy turned his attention to the one market still stuck in the dark ages: natural capital. With his company Kana, he’s creating the digital infrastructure to make investing in nature as easy — and as powerful — as buying stocks or bonds.We go deep into the friction points no one wants to face: the absence of reliable data, the chaos of carbon pricing, and the urgent need for a valuation model that actually works. Andy explains why the real bottleneck isn’t interest, it’s investability — and why hitting $500 million of scale could trigger a financial chain reaction that transforms the entire sector.He also unveils his Guide to Investing in Natural Capital, built alongside some of the UK’s largest asset managers — a blueprint for mainstreaming nature-based investment and helping capital finally flow where it matters.
