“Green Investments”, “Eco-Friendly Investments”, “Renewable Energy Investments” – these are all the latest buzz-words denoting investment in projects that will provide renewable, sustainable energy worldwide, whilst at the same time protecting the planet and both its flora and its fauna.

 Alternative Eco-Friendly Investments

Thanks to our background in financial markets, GREEN ESTATE INVESTMENT are ardent fans of Modern Portfolio Theory, as defined by Investopedia.com. “Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is a theory on how risk-averse investors can construct portfolios to maximise expected return based on a given level of market risk.”

We have identified a series of ALTERNATIVE GREEN ECO-FRIENDLY investments in RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT, the latest buzz-word. The speed at which investing in renewable energy has moved from being a lifestyle investment choice to being a financially astute investment, is absolutely breath-taking.

Here are some quotes:

It is time for a sustainable energy policy which puts consumers, the environment, human health and peace first.

- Dennis Kucinich

The nation that leads in renewable energy will be the nation that leads the world.

- James Cameron

We have direct links with interesting projects such as BIOMASS in Finland: Biomass – Google Definition - noun

The definition of biomass is a renewable energy source from living or recently living plant and animal materials which can be used as fuel.

  1. An example of biomass is plant material that produces electricity with steam.
  2. An example of biomass is animal fossil fuel.

Going back to Modern Portfolio Theory, AGRICULTURE falls under the broad asset class known as "real assets" which are physical in nature and provide hard tangible ownership. (Other real assets include real estate and commodities such as gold.) Agriculture as a sector has been rising in prominence over the past decade reaching over 8 USD trillion in value. To put this figure into perspective it is comparable to all the value of all gold ever mined and the global professionally managed real estate industry. Additionally, the sector accounts for approximately 30% of global GDP.

Within the Agroforestry sector, we have links with, for example, bamboo plantations in East Africa and mango plantations in Thailand.

Mango Plantations in Thailand – certainly “renewable energy”!!
