aream Press release

From 10 March 2021, fund and asset managers will have to disclose how they comply with ESG criteria. "Our investment strategy in the Clean Energy Future Fund meets the highest requirements under Article 9 of the regulation," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. This makes the fund a "deep green" investment.

The winter also left its mark on the production of renewable energies. Ice buildup on rotors and snow cover on panels made for a weak start to the year in Germany. "It shows that diversification across several countries in a portfolio makes sense and can also compensate for such losses", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group.

Renewable energies are having a record year in 2020, and green electricity is in demand as never before. Institutional investors in particular are getting on board. "From a risk perspective, investments in renewable energies have become increasingly attractive", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "That's because the more plants that are on the grid, the more a portfolio can be diversified and fluctuations are smoothed out."

Renewable energy investments have become an indispensable part of the investment mix, especially for institutional investors. Whereas at the beginning of this megatrend the focus was primarily on investments in individual plants, now the focus is primarily on investments in energy types and locations via diversified portfolios just like early entry into cleantech start-ups. "The next and most profitable step is investing in the project development phase", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group.
