Press release greenValue GmbH – Total volume of renewable energy and environmental investments exceeds 4 billion euros
[Schwaig b. Nuremberg, November 18, 2011] greenValue GmbH, operator of the independent information portal www.greenvalue.de, announces that the investment volume of green investments has exceeded the 4 billion euro limit. Last year, on the same date, investments with a total investment volume of almost 3.5 billion euros were offered. Around 64% (2.6 billion euros) of the current investments are designed as closed funds, the remaining 36% (1.45 billion euros) are set up as entrepreneurial investments with a fixed interest rate, for example as profit participation rights.“At 36%, photovoltaic investments take priority among closed-end funds,” explains Daniel Kellermann, managing director of greenValue. According to Kellermann, what is striking is “the increase in sustainable real estate funds. Green buildings currently take up 22% of the closed fund volume. Investments in water projects are comparatively new in the fund sector. Several providers use their funds to finance systems for water treatment or electricity generation.”
The recently completed online visitor survey by the greenvalue.de portal shows how much interest there is in sustainable investments. Among the participants, mainly private investors, the favorites are investments in photovoltaic and wind power projects, with 75 and 65% respectively. At least one in five, and in some cases one in three, is also interested in other renewable energy and environmental areas. “What is particularly pleasing and at the same time an incentive to continue to meticulously maintain the greenvalue.de portal is the satisfaction of visitors. In terms of topicality and information content, 95% of participants stated that they were satisfied or very satisfied,” summarizes Daniel Kellermann.
