Our investment philosophy

The issue of climate change has the highest social and political priority. Innovative private companies will develop the best solutions. Institutional investors are looking for companies with a high return potential. Our task is to find these companies and diversify the risks via private equity funds.

Focused on decarbonisation and growth

This is what distinguishes the Private Equity Fonds Carbon Solutions:

  • Investment in high-growth, unlisted companies and other private equity funds
  • Selection and support by experienced and successful private equity managers
  • Broad diversification with direct investments in Switzerland and Europe as well as indirect investments worldwide
  • Focus on sustainability
  • Target return of 12 to 14 percent per year

The fund is designed as a limited partnership for collective capital investments and is subject to the oversight of FINMA.

Our investment process

A systematic and disciplined investment process forms the basis for high value creation. That's why we adhere to proven governance structures for illiquid assets. We work together with industry experts to screen and source potential investments. We only invest after detailed internal and external due diligence – often alongside other well-known private equity companies.

Decarbonisation as a growth driver and opportunity

The fund invests in companies that contribute to decarbonisation and are also economically successful. The investment objective is a very attractive return with a manageable risk for this key theme, which has strong social and political momentum. Necessary investments in climate protection of at least USD 2.5 trillion by 2050 will be a strong and sustainable driver of growth.
