1st reason: New questions need new answers

No matter how different we humans are, we agree at least on this point: The last few years have been tough. The world is changing, one crisis chasing the next, both in Germany and in Europe and around the world. There was first a new pandemic, then a war in the middle of Europe, followed by a severe energy crisis - and above all the permanent burner: the climate crisis.

Some of these problems can't be solved as easily as you like. That’s why it’s all the more important to address those problems that you can address. And new problems often require new ideas and new technologies in order to find long-term solutions. 

This is evident in the automotive industry, for example: In recent years, the share of electric vehicles has steadily increased. In 2025, their share of new car registrations in Germany reached a new peak of 19.1 percent.¹ Electric cars emit around 30 percent² less climate-damaging gases than conventional vehicles over their entire service life.

And the signs are also green in the energy sector: To develop long-term alternatives to petroleum, coal, etc. more and more efficient solutions are being developed, such as powerful wind turbines and solar power plants - two technologies for sustainable energy production that together accounted for around 46 percent of Germany’s electricity generation in 2025.³ And with reliable and powerful technologies such as wind, hydro or solar power, there are no questions left unanswered when it comes to designing future-proof energy supply systems.

2nd reason: More stability across the board

Especially in times of crisis, investors are looking for security - even in times like today. According to a recent study by BarmeniaGothaer, 47 percent of respondents⁴ consider high security to be the most important aspect of investing money.

Classic investments such as precious metals, savings books or overnight/fixed-term deposits are still heavily used. However, many of these investment products no longer yield as much as they did in the past. After the high interest income of recent years, interest rates have been falling again since 2024, while inflation rose to 2.9 percent in April 2026⁵ - driven primarily by energy prices. Real returns are therefore scarce or negative for many classic investments.

That’s why we need an alternative that provides stability and protects the invested capital from loss of value. Investments in renewable energies, for example via investment funds in the area of renewable energies, generate their income primarily from the electricity produced by wind, solar, etc. and often sold via long-term purchase agreements. This makes both the fund’s own income and the returns of investors plannable and ensures greater plannability of earnings.

And security of supply can also be significantly increased with renewable energies. The more the energy infrastructure in Germany is expanded, the more own electricity can be fed into the local electricity grid.  

On the one hand, this reduces the dependence on external electricity and heat suppliers. On the other hand, Germany is becoming more independent of imported fuels and their price fluctuations - a factor that has gained in importance since the energy crisis in 2022.

A higher proportion of renewables does not automatically make the power system quieter. As long as storage and grids do not grow at the same pace, short-term electricity prices can become even more volatile. This is precisely why stability for investors is created primarily via long-term purchase agreements and feed-in tariffs, not via the day market.
