Summary
The Accreditation Panel (AP) recommends upgrading Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (PCA) to the 'large' project size category.

Key insights
- The Accreditation Panel recommends that PCA be upgraded to the 'large' size category for individual projects or activities within a programme, which is defined as having total projected costs above US$ 250 million.
- PCA demonstrated its capacity for the upgrade by providing portfolio reports for three private equity funds where the average capital invested far exceeds the 'large' size threshold.
- The applicant's fiduciary capacity is supported by a governance structure compliant with United States federal regulations and SEC supervision, including Investment Committees and a Compliance Committee.
- PCA has strengthened its anti-money-laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) capacity by outsourcing investor due diligence and continuous monitoring to a leading-expert third-party service provider.
- The applicant's track record in climate-related investments includes equity investments across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America, with four of its five private equity funds investing more than USD 250 million.
- PCA intends to focus its GCF-related investments on renewable energy, low-emission energy access, low-carbon transport, waste management, and enhancing adaptive capacity and resilience, particularly in least developed countries, small island developing States, and African countries.
