We anticipated the first half would be strong , and it has exceeded our expectations . Fundraising has been remarkable : we have raised more in six months than in any full year in the history of ICG . Notably it has been across both established and emerging strategies , evidencing the breadth of our embedded growth opportunities . We have also attracted a substantial number of new clients during the period across a range of established and emerging strategies . I am delighted that we continue to help lead our industry on sustainability , with our commitment to net zero by 2040 supported by approved and validated science - based targets for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 . Looking ahead , activity levels across our business remain high . Our performance demonstrates our multiple drivers of compounding growth , and gives us further confidence in our medium - term guidance . As we raise successor vintages of current strategies and expand our product offering , our visible and long - term third - party fee income on a growing base of AUM is poised to increase meaningfully over the next several years . 99
