Our investment philosophy

Innovative and dynamic private companies play a central role in the development of climate-neutral technologies. Our task is to identify the most promising decarbonisation solutions and diversify potential risks for investors via our Global Decarbonization Fund.

Our investment process

A systematic and disciplined investment process is the basis for high value creation. We therefore adhere to our proven governance structures for illiquid investments. These include:

  • We work with industry experts to screen and source potential investments.
  • We only invest in a company after extensive internal and external due diligence - often side by side with other well-known private equity companies.
  • Our investment projects are submitted to an advisory committee made up of external renowned personalities from science and practice for assessment.
  • Last but not least our Investment Committee composed of internal experts performs a further in debt analysis of the proposed companies and makes the final investment decision.

Focus on decarbonisation and growth

The Global Decarbonization Fund invests in companies that make a contribution to decarbonisation and are economically successful at the same time. The investment objective is a very attractive return with manageable risk in a key topic of today's society with sustained social and political tailwinds. The necessary investments in climate protection totalling at least USD 2,500 billion per year by 2050 will be a strong and sustainable growth driver.
