Overtekend fonds benadrukt de snel groeiende kansen die geboden worden binnen duurzame reële activa

BOULDER, Colo. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Vision Ridge Partners, een alternatieve vermogensbeheerder gericht op duurzame reële activa, heeft zijn Sustainable Asset Fund III (“Fonds III”) van 1,25 miljard dollar gesloten. Het fonds werd amper vier en een halve maand na de start van de fondsenwerving definitief afgesloten. Fonds III mikte aanvankelijk op $ 1 miljard aan toezeggingen en trok meer belangstelling dan de harde limiet van $ 1,25 miljard.

“De snelheid, omvang en hoogwaardige LP-basis van onze fondsenwerving spreken de toenemende interesse van investeerders aan om hun portefeuilles af te stemmen op de overgang naar een duurzame reële economie”, aldus Reuben Munger, managing partner van Vision Ridge. “Duurzaam beleggen is niet langer een nichestrategie die beleggers aan hun portefeuille willen toevoegen vanwege de ethische voordelen of als diversificatiestrategie. De verschuiving naar duurzaamheid over de hele wereld is onvermijdelijk en wij geloven dat de economie van de onderliggende investeringen werkt. Deze investeringen kunnen het soort rendement opleveren dat beleggers voorheen zochten via meer traditionele activaklassen op de particuliere markt. ”
