Susten manages both private green investments and a listed equity energy transition portfolio, so our clients benefit from our deep knowledge of all stages in a company’s growth cycle.
2003: David Herne founded Halcyon, an investment management firm, specializing in the utility sector in Eastern Europe.
By 2021: Halcyon managed approximately $1bn in listed equity mandates and in private markets for institutional investors, including leading sovereign wealth funds, US university endowments, and other asset allocators.
2018-Present: Our team focused on pioneering clean energy investments, leading to the creation of Susten in 2021 - a UK-based company committed to driving energy transition projects in the UK and Eurozone. At the same time Alexey Klaptsov, a senior PM at Halcyon, followed his passion, establishing a listed equity fund dedicated to European companies in the energy transition space.
2022: David and Alexey made a pivotal move, joining forces at Susten. As a result, we created SUSTEN, an investment company where clients can benefit from our holistic understanding of the sector across both private equity and listed markets.
