Abrams Advisors

Abrams Advisors, LLC provides expert strategic, governance, transaction, project, and organizational advising and consulting services to create climate finance adaptation and mitigation vehicles, funds, de-risking mechanisms, taxonomies, and other initiatives — including first-of-a-kind structures.

Abrams Advisors partners with climate-focused companies, organizations, funds, and entrepreneurs to turn ambitious climate and impact goals into de-risked bankable and investable structures and initiatives, and in so doing create new markets.

Structuring 

Services include translating climate and impact objectives into statements of mission, vision, and values; and creating fit-for-purpose investment vehicles appropriately structured to achieve climate goals, mitigate risk, and deliver financial returns. Blended finance vehicles leverage minimum required concessional funding; they are structured such that catalytic capital will not be required in perpetuity. Metrics are selected to document climate and other impacts; in some cases these are used to set impact-linked compensation.

Investment analytics

Analytics services include serving on investment committees, and conducting investment analyses and due diligence. Services focus on ensuring that investments specify climate and other impact goals, are appropriately structured and derisked, address market requirements, and demonstrate replicability and scalability.

Investment and capital advisory

Abrams Advisors assists organizations seeking to make climate-related investments to develop an investment thesis and capital strategy, and to identify, select, and allocate investments. 

Services to portfolio companies 

Strategic advice is provided to funds’ portfolio companies on capital structure, capital raising, market analyses, go-to-market strategy, product-market fit, and unit economics.

Expanding investment in adaptation

Adaptation and resilience require a vast increase in investment. Abrams Advisors is committed to expanding adaptation financing in investments that have sound business fundamentals and cash flows with clearly defined adaptation benefits. 

Taxonomies

There are numerous measures of climate impact which are organized into a range of taxonomies. Abrams Advisors analyzes similarities and differences between distinct metrics in order to compare taxonomies, which assists users in selecting appropriate instruments
