We are investors in Climate Tech Portfolio Fund I and II. Confident of Carbon Equity’s rigorous climate fund selection process, impact and return-wise. Most complete and thorough in its class, as testified by some of the world’s biggest climate funds and independent investment organizations. Rarely in my investment career have I seen such a professional and outstanding team: why would one then try to redo their work in-house?

− Joost Van Meerbeeck
Managing Director, SUSTINVEST

Carbon Equity ticked all the boxes for us: Immediate diversification in a lot of funds with a high level of impact and at the right fee.  Carbon Equity has got the decarbonisation impact fund ecosystem covered and has access to all the funds. A smart choice.

CEO, Victrix

As a multi-family office, we’re always seeking investments that balance returns with responsibility. Carbon Equity’s annual climate tech- and climate infra funds provide exactly that—diversified access to top-tier opportunities in a high-growth sector, without the need for deep in-house expertise.

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."
