greenValue GmbH (opm) – Number of green investments remains at a high level – 67 investments listed without stock market price fluctuations
[Schwaig b. Nuremberg, August 22, 2011] greenValue GmbH, operator of the independent information portal www.greenvalue.de, has examined green investment offers in current statistics. As of the reporting date, 67 investments are being offered. 45 offers are designed as closed funds, 22 as fixed-interest investments (including profit participation rights or bonds). The total volume of the investments is 2.9 billion euros. Of this, 1.5 billion euros are attributable to closed funds and 1.4 billion euros to fixed-interest investments. The proportion of “fixed-interest” securities in the total volume as of the reporting date has increased continuously in recent years. Today around 49% of the total investment volume can be attributed to profit participation rights etc. Two years ago it was around 23%.“Especially in turbulent stock market times, private and institutional investors rely on investments that are free from price fluctuations. Coupled with very good legal framework conditions in many European countries, green investments can be a good investment alternative that is associated with entrepreneurial opportunities and risks,” says Daniel Kellermann, Managing partner of greenValue GmbH.
The minimum investments for current investments are between 1,000 and 50,000 euros. Closed funds allow investors to invest from an average of 9,950 euros. “Fixed-interest” loans can be subscribed for an average of 4,000 euros.
What is striking is the trend towards shorter terms. At an average of 15 years, it is longer for closed-end funds than for fixed-interest investments (four years). There is also movement in the asset classes. Investments in onshore wind farms are again possible via closed funds. “Fixed-interest” companies also offer investments in project developments for offshore wind energy projects. A handful of green buildings enable real asset investments in sustainable real estate. Niche segments such as geothermal energy and recycling are also grouped alongside the undisputed leader photovoltaics.
