Financial Soultions has just become aware of a recent report by ethical finance advisory firm Holden & Partners which bears good tidings for green investors. “The Annual Guide to Climate Change” report assessing the top performing climate change related investment funds strongly indicates that these funds “consistently out perform the rest of the market.
In spite of the tumultuous last 18 months these funds operating in the clean energy, water, agriculture, forestry and ethical investment areas performed significantly better than conventional funds.
Backed by figures from the FTSE the data indicates that the Environmental indices have shown considerably better performance over that last 5 years with low carbon businesses strongly benefiting climate change related investment funds, Financial Soultions research highlights.
The reports author is quoted as saying, "There is a perception that clean tech investment is high risk and focused on small start ups that will either make it big or go out of business, but they tend to be heavy industrial companies that have substantial market caps and these investments are lower risk than people expect and we are seeing them outperform the market."
He went on to say that these funds had all the regulatory and political drivers working in their favor and none of the same risks faced by traditional energy investments, Financial Soultions believes.
