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.

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”!!
