Triodos launches green fund
Ethical specialists Triodos Bank have launched the Triodos EIS Green Fund, offering investors access to small, but growing, green businesses in the UK.
The Fund aims to achieve high returns for investors by investing directly in some of the UK’s most interesting sustainable companies with strong growth potential.
The EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) structure allows investors to take advantage of green growth in the most tax effecient manner.
Gareth Zahir-Bill, Triodos EIS Green Fund Manager, says, ‘It’s a great time for investment in high growth green companies. Despite the challenging economic climate, sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and waste recycling are resilient in the current recession and are often underpinned by government support mechanisms. These sectors provide excellent investment opportunities that will allow us to back the UK’s future sustainability pioneers.’
