Opportunity Macro of Sustainable InvestmentsWith energy and resource prices reaching all-time highs and environmental stresses due to pollution and over-extraction as a result of the growing global economy, the time has never been better to invest in companies whose technologies offer a chance to change the ‘rules of the game’ through decoupling energy and material intensities from GDP and a smarter use and choice of natural resources.
Untapped Market Potentials Given the current market failures and inefficiencies seen through the lens of the physical and social sciences, the scope of the market opportunity is hard to understate. In a world of increasing population and a growing demand for higher material standards, the value of those companies who are able to continue to service those markets in a world of natural resource constraints is enormous.
Policy & Legislation A predictable system effect of this market tension is the emergence of new policies and laws aimed at aligning our economic system of production with our environment’s carrying capacity and our social needs. Understanding and predicting the desired goals of such policies is key to an optimal market strategy, whereas failing to gasp the driving factors behind them are a risk to any strategy for growth.
At the Sustainable Technologies Fund, we are fortunate to have the requisite mix of experience and backgrounds that speak to mastery in understanding all three areas.
