Common questions about our training courses
The Blue Economy encompasses ocean-based and water-related industries — including fisheries, aquaculture, marine energy, shipping, coastal tourism, and marine biotechnology — and its potential for sustainable economic growth is addressed as the foundational context for the course. The different sectors within the Blue Economy and the key trends and innovations shaping the space are covered before moving into investment strategy and analysis content. Delegates gain a clear sector overview before engaging with the investment frameworks.
The importance and methodology of due diligence specific to Blue Economy investments are addressed in depth, covering how comprehensive due diligence analysis is conducted across the financial, environmental, regulatory, and operational dimensions that characterise Blue Economy assets. Risk analysis specific to Blue Economy investments is also addressed, giving delegates a structured due diligence framework that reflects the unique characteristics and risk profile of ocean and water-related assets.
Portfolio management and diversification strategies specific to the Blue Economy are covered alongside the development of a Blue Economy investment strategy, addressing how exposure is managed across different sectors, geographies, and investment structures within a Blue Economy portfolio. Performance measurement and reporting for Blue Economy investments are also covered, giving delegates a complete portfolio management framework applicable to both dedicated Blue Economy funds and broader sustainable investment portfolios with Blue Economy allocations.
Equity investment, debt investment, and impact investing are all covered as distinct investment approaches within the Blue Economy, addressing how each structure is applied to Blue Economy assets and projects and what the risk, return, and impact considerations are for each. Delegates gain a working understanding of how investment structures are selected based on the nature of the Blue Economy asset, the investor's objectives, and the project's financing requirements.
Blue Economy investments carry risk profiles that differ from conventional asset classes, including regulatory risk, environmental and climate-related risk, operational risk in marine environments, and reputational risk associated with sustainability claims. These are addressed within the due diligence and investment management content, giving delegates a realistic view of how Blue Economy risk is assessed and managed rather than presenting the sector purely as an opportunity without acknowledging its complexity.
Impact investing in the Blue Economy is addressed as a distinct investment approach that combines financial return objectives with measurable environmental and social outcomes — including ocean health, biodiversity, and coastal community development. Delegates learn how impact investment strategies are designed and measured within Blue Economy contexts and how impact reporting requirements differ from conventional financial performance reporting. This is directly relevant for those working within impact investment mandates or sustainable finance frameworks.
