Foresight Group

Foresight Group began life in 1984 when co-founders Bernard Fairman and Peter English set out to back emerging technologies in the UK. Four decades later the firm has evolved into a London-listed asset manager focused on building a sustainable future through real-asset investing and growth capital for ambitious companies.

Head-quartered in The Shard, London, with offices across the UK, Europe, Ireland and Australia, Foresight’s 380-plus professionals are organised into three complementary divisions: Infrastructure, Private Equity and Foresight Capital Management. This integrated platform lets the team originate, build and actively manage portfolios that cut carbon, modernise essential services and scale regional businesses.

As of 31 March 2025 the group oversees £13.2 billion (≈ US$16.8 billion) of assets for institutional and retail investors, with 64 % allocated to the energy transition and the balance spread across transport, digital, social and natural-capital themes. Foresight targets opportunities in the UK, wider Europe, Australia and North America, applying rigorous ESG principles to deliver inflation-linked returns while accelerating the net-zero agenda.
