According to an evaluation by the independent and neutral information portal www.greenvalue.de, the investment volume of closed-end funds and fixed-interest securities currently on offer is almost 3.5 billion euros. 79 investments are being placed. They primarily finance projects for electricity and heat generation from renewable energies, sustainable real estate, or water supply and treatment.
79% of closed-end funds’ capital flows into solar parks at home and abroad. 27 of the 36 solar funds have terms of between 19 or 20 and 25 years. These terms are based on the country-specific remuneration periods for solar power. Nine solar funds are designed with terms of between 4 and 10 years, including a sales scenario at the end of the term.
Over 80% of the funds from fixed-interest securities finance the expansion of wind energy. The funds invest in wind farms that generate ongoing income through electricity generation. Or they finance the respective issuer’s business purpose, for example, the development of new onshore or offshore wind energy projects.
“It is striking that fixed-interest securities are being issued more and more frequently. In November 2008, their share accounted for around 20% of all green investments. Today, their share is a third of the closed-end funds and fixed-interest securities being placed,” says Daniel Kellermann, Managing Director of greenValue GmbH.
