Photovoltaic investments lead with 23 percent of the investment volume, closely followed by forestry investments. “These forest funds are partly quoted in US dollars and, together with the euro projects, account for around 16 percent of the total investment volume of green investments,” comments Daniel Kellermann, Managing Director of greenValue GmbH, on the share of the comparatively young investment division.
Almost 80 percent of all investments are issued as GmbH & Co. KG investments and finance individual environmental projects, such as photovoltaic parks or biogas plants. Some offers are also designed as portfolio funds; they finance several projects in different energy sectors. The remaining 21 percent of the total investment volume comprises fixed-interest securities, such as profit participation rights and bonds. The capital from these issues is used to finance projects and/or the issuing companies.
