Crowd in

Sustainability - investment - loan markets - public sector - UK - National Wealth Fund (NWF).

In the context of public sector investment, crowding in is the theory - or expectation - that initial investment from a public sector agency will then attract additional private capital, either to the particular deal, or the sector.

NWF should crowd in private capital deal-by-deal

"The NWF should crowd in private capital on a deal-by-deal basis, rather than at the Fund level, to maximise its catalytic potential in the immediate term.

Opportunities to crowd-in fund-level capital should be considered as part of the NWF’s medium-term strategy."
