Carolyn Hansard, Managing Director of Energy, Natural Resources & Infrastructure at Teacher Retirement System of Texas joins the latest episode of the Investor Series Podcast, where she shares her insights from an LP’s perspective into how the energy investment landscape has evolved during the last 12 years, what trends led to the energy sector falling out of favor with the LP universe and ultimately what the energy sector and GPs alike need to demonstrate to attract LP capital back to the space.

She also shares her thoughts on who an LP like Texas Teachers partner with; how they can you partner with them; and which structures make the most sense, and shares her thoughts on the benefits of direct investing and continuation vehicles, vis-à-vis more conventional LP investment approaches.
