The team behind klimaVest

With klimaVest, ELTIFs and impact funds¹ combine with technical complexity and a clear content-related objective to create an innovative investment.

Balancing measurable environmental impact with the best possible performance and skilfully interlinking them – this is the challenge for klimaVest. New developments in energy markets and sustainable infrastructure trends must be identified as early as possible and opportunities seized as quickly as possible.

klimaVest is therefore more than just an ordinary financial product. That’s why special expertise and sensitivity is needed, and lots of it. From fund management and technical and commercial asset management to sustainability and legal – it is only together that the individual areas create a bigger whole that works together every day for the success and future viability of the fund – the klimaVest team.

For investors, their returns – and for the energy transition in Europe.
