Green investments are on the rise, according to a recent article from the International Business Times; Avacade reviews some of the most important green investment trends. ” ” PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 28, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ — According to a recent article from The International Business Times, green investments are increasingly gaining traction among investors–and in a new statement to the press, Avacade reviews these trends. The article notes that many investors are increasingly eager to invest in new and efficient energy technologies, but also that there remain many uncertainties, especially because these technologies are largely untested. According to the article, though–as well as to Avacade–there are many different ways in which investors can “go green.” Certainly, Avacade would know; the company helps investors to obtain opportunities in forestry, specifically offering investments in different types of valuable timber from all across the world. “Green investments can often appear more green than they actually are,” warns Avacade, in its new press statement. “Investments such as Palm Oil, while potentially being a renewable energy source, are not so green if prime areas of rainforest are felled to make way for it, as can often be the case in places such as Brazil.” As Avacade reviews these green investment trends, it notes that the overall trajectory of green investment is a positive one–but that discernment is nevertheless necessary. “Investors globally are focusing on the green credentials of their investments and this is a positive trend,” the company opines. “However, it is often in the detail of the investments whether these are environmentally positive. All of Avacade’s investments have been reviewed thoroughly to ensure that they are truly ‘green’ investments.” The company offers a specific example from its own portfolio. “For example, the Melina investment is usually planted on old agricultural land and all native species are protected, offering a real contribution to offsetting carbon dioxide. On conclusion of the investment the land is handed over to a forestry easement trust so that the environment and local community can continue to benefit from the development of the plantation.” As for the International Business Times article, it recommends that investors not only analyze the “green” value of an investment, but also the business sense that it offers. “Before investing in renewable energy, you need to have due diligence in evaluating each of the companies,” the article advises. “To start off, you need to investigate the green company from business perspective. A good investor puts his money in good business opportunities.” Another tip offered is for investors not to become seduced by the numbers and statistics that green energy companies tend to use in their efforts to dazzle potential venture capitalists. The important thing, the article says, is for the investor to have a sense of how the products in question will be sold commercially. Still another tip is to learn something about the management team. “A company’s management team will determine its success or failure,” comments The International Business Times. “Technologies based on the coolness factor and current trends are not exactly instant guarantees to success.” As a leading name in green investment opportunities, Avacade reviews a variety of green initiatives from across the globe. about: As a leading name in responsible and socially-ethical investments, Avacade reviews green investment opportunities from across the world, and makes them available to investors in the UK and abroad.
