How portfolio fund investing works

7-10 private equity funds and 150+ climate tech companies.
All packaged into a single portfolio fund.

What is a portfolio fund

Portfolio funds are multiple funds in one

A portfolio fund, also known as a fund of funds, is a collection of several funds. Each underlying fund specializes in specific market segments and/or strategies.

When you invest in one of our portfolio funds, your investment is distributed into 7-10 carefully selected climate funds. Each fund will invest in 20-30 companies, building you a diversified portfolio of 150+ assets.

Where is my investment going

Funding hundreds
of  climate tech companies

Your capital is invested in hundreds of climate tech companies across different sectors and stages of growth: innovation, scale, and transformation. It is also invested across geographies, spreading your risks.

The typical timeline

Your cashflow during the lifetime of a fund

To start, we request 25% of your commitment (min. €100k) and then 15% yearly of the total commitment yet to be paid. Then, the early years are where your capital is invested. Typically, the first returns may come in after five years, with the aim of returning all capital invested around year seven. We expect the subsequent years to generate the proceeds.*

Year 1-3 investing period
Funds search for and invest in climate tech startups and scaleups.
Year 2-5 follow-on period
Funds work with portfolio companies to help them grow, and invest in follow-on rounds of their top portfolio companies.
Year 3-13 harvesting period
Funds sell portfolio companies when the time is right. All proceeds are distributed to participants in the fund.

Offering of funds managed by Carbon Equity B.V. will be available to potential investors via a separate and dedicated account environment, which is clearly indicated as such. Investors should take note that investments are offered in a limited number of accepted jurisdictions and only to certain types of (primarily professional or semi-professional) investors. Investors will be required to commit to an initial investment of at least EUR 100,000 (or higher, as the case may be), unless an exemption applies.

Carbon Equity B.V. will act as the Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) of its funds and it is fully licensed pursuant to article 2:65 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht). Carbon Equity B.V. and the funds it manages are subject to supervision by the Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten) in the Netherlands.

The fund documents, available via our dedicated account environment, outline potential risks, charges, and expenses. Please review these risk warnings and disclosures carefully. Investments into private equity are speculative and risky. The value of investments can vary over time. Investments into private equity have a long horizon (exceeding 10 years) with no or limited liquidity. If you cannot afford to potentially lose your full investment, it is best not to invest. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Investing in a private equity fund is not comparable to a deposit with a bank."
