About Us
A Brief History
Clean Energy Transition LLP was launched on 1 December 2021 when Per Lekander’s Global Energy Team spun-out from Lansdowne Partners bringing their funds under the management of the new firm. The flagship hedge fund Energy Dynamics has a track record since 2015 and long only fund Clean since 2017.
Our Guiding Principles
Our Guiding Principles help to calibrate our daily interactions with our clients and colleagues, as well as informing our long-term vision for the organisation.
1
Focus together to achieve superior risk adjusted returns.
2
Accelerate the transition into a clean future.
3
Seek full alignment with our clients’ interests, so that if contradictions emerge, we aim to put our clients’ interests ahead of the Firm’s or its individuals’.
Strive for constant improvement by taking a collaborative approach, learning from our successes and mistakes, not switching our focus from areas of competitive advantage.
Be a positive force for the energy transition by deploying capital effectively and engaging in a proactive dialogue with all stakeholders.
Meet the Team
