If you want the truth about investing in carbon credits, look no further.........

June 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Things to take into consideration when purchasing carbon credits....

• Are the credits visible on the public registry?  If not, why not?

• What standard are they?  For investment purposes GS and VCS are the best options in the voluntary market.

• Are you forward buying?  If so beware of pricing and delivery risk and the company you purchase from should be FSA regulated.

• To whom are you making your payment?  It should go DIRECT to the provider / seller of the credits and NOT a third party escrow company, agent or similar.

• Where do your credits go once you have purchased them?  If you have been invited to open a trading account then be aware of the costs which start at around 800 GBP plus further annual membership fees which are usually in the region of 100 GBP upwards.

• What, if any, returns have you been promised?  Remember carbon credits are spot trades and THERE ARE NO FIXED OR GUARANTEED RETURNS!

• Ask about the exit strategy and how and when are your credits going to be sold?  There are costs associated with this and you may have to do some work to find someone to sell on your behalf or open a trading account and manage yourself unless a genuine alternative is available.

• Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is!!
