New Forestry Investment Fund Launched
29.05.2013 A new fund has been announced that will focus on investment in forestry assets across Europe. The ForestCare Investment Fund is set to be launched by Diapason Commodities Management, which is a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment initiative and as such follows the guidelines relating to fiduciary duty. As a result, investments will cover forest properties and activities resulting from the industry, including forest management, wood production and processing. Furthermore, all potential investments will be subject to stringent checks with regard to sustainability, in particular their environmental, social and corporate governance impact. However, the fund will not restrict itself in terms of the type of investment, taking a number of assets into considerations, including equities, bonds, forest plots and all related derivatives. In an effort to take advantage of the comparatively low levels of private forestry ownership, ForestCare will include plots or land leases covered at least partially by forests exclusively in Europe. Forestry properties will form one-fifth (20 per cent) of the entire portfolio. On top of taking ownership of and managing forests across Europe, the fund will look to invest in shares or bonds of companies already operating within the forestry industry, providing they are doing so responsibly. Related derivatives and other investment opportunities within the forestry sector will also be considered, including biodiversity credits, carbon credits and REDD credits, which relate to efforts to mitigate the effects of deforestation. Mark McDonnell, managing director of Diapason Commodities Management, said: “ForestCare is a completely new way of approaching investment in forestry and with our approach to biodiversity in forests this investment opportunity has forest sustainability at its core.” “Crucially, the fund is structured to reconcile economic profitability with the need to make intelligent use of natural resources – providing investors with a diversified portfolio which is uncorrelated with other asset classes,” he added. Designed for those looking to invest in pension funds and institutional investors, ForestCare will have a minimum investment of €125,000 for the A class and €1 million for the institutional or I class. HD FestForest provides forest management in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and is a subsidiary company of HedeDanmark. Continue reading
Biomass TV – Euroheat Brings Wood Heating To Life
Euroheat has launched a range of short films designed to make understanding biomass easier for installers and end users. Housed on its YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.c…ser/EuroheatHBS , the videos provide a general overview of wood burning as well as product specific information. The Euroheat channel offers the following: · An introduction to wood biomass:. A comprehensive overview of burning wood, from its environmental credentials, to ensuring boilers and stoves run efficiently · Case studies explaining the benefits of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and fuel savings: · Overviews of Euroheat’s range of wood burning stoves:and boilers, including its new pre-fabricated Energy Cabin:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw5pNKy49wc · Technical ‘how-tos’, explaining maintenance queries for specific products:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEvWuDNwjSc Simon Holden, co-founder of Euroheat, explained the company’s decision to go ‘on film’: “We have always been of the opinion that the best way to understand biomass, for installers and end users, is to see it operational, which is where our exhibition centre comes to the fore. Having these videos is the next best thing, providing a point of reference for people who can’t get to us, or those that simply want an easy, visual way to find out more, or refresh existing knowledge. “For people interested in biomass, whether they’re Euroheat installers/customers or not, many of these films should provide an informative and useful way to understand how wood heating works, getting the best from it, the potential savings that can be made through reduced fuel prices and, in commercial applications, the cash back available from the RHI.” Continue reading
