Investment opportunities

Renewable energies such as solar, wind and hydropower offer investors an attractive risk/return profile, a low level of correlation with traditional asset classes such as equities and bonds and long-term stable cash flows.

With insurance companies and pension funds focused on liability management, this combination of benefits makes renewable energy a highly attractive asset class. In some cases, renewable energy also benefits from favourable political conditions where their use is actively promoted in a bid to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The supply of fossil fuels can be expected to reach its peak in coming decades and then decline. By then, energy demand will probably exceed the supply that can be met by fossil sources alone. The so-called ESG (environmental, social, governmental) factor is playing an increasingly important role in supporting the investment case for renewable energy, which holds a clear advantage over fossil fuels in terms of sustainability.
