EdenTree Investment Management (EdenTree), a specialist responsible and sustainable asset manager, has launched the EdenTree Green Infrastructure Fund (GIF), which aims to provide investors with an attractive yield and capitalise on the increasing financial commitment to a low-carbon and more sustainable economy.
The fund will take a rigorous and uncompromising approach to green infrastructure, providing investors with a unique opportunity to access infrastructure projects designed to help forge a sustainable path to energy security and build a greener economy by investing in companies that are committed to responsible, sustainable and ethical business. Holdings in the fund will include companies responding to environmental challenges such as climate change, through investment in areas such as alternative energy, energy storage and the circular economy. The Fund will also hold companies aimed at providing solutions to wider societal challenges.
The fund will provide investors with access to distinct characteristics of the infrastructure asset class, including exposure to inflation-linked income streams, and a favourable risk and return profile with low correlation to stock and bond markets – characteristics that are pertinent for investors seeking to navigate today’s market and economic backdrop.
GIF will be managed by fund manager Tommy Kristoffersen, who is a member of the Multi-Asset and European Equities teams at EdenTree, which currently manages around £1.7 billion, and the group manages a pool of about £100 million of assets explicitly related to green infrastructure.
