Sustainability goals are now firmly anchored among investors, and reducing their own CO2 emissions is a regular part of this. Green funds make a significant contribution to this. "For every one million euros invested in the Clean Energy Future Fund, for example, around 1,300 tons of CO2 were saved in 2020," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "That's 2,600 flights to Mallorca and back."

Renewable energies did not exploit their full potential in February 2021. For wind, for example, the yield in Germany was just 78 percent, for solar at least 85 percent. "On the other hand, Italy's solar yield was above target at 101 percent," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "The target overachievement could have been even higher if the strong wind had not affected the solar plants."

Electricity from renewable energies is becoming a scarce commodity. That's why more and more companies are signing direct purchase agreements with green power suppliers. "Germany is a global pioneer here with its well-developed industrial base and many companies with high credit ratings," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "For investments in renewable energies, this provides an additional boost."

From 10 March 2021, fund and asset managers will have to disclose how they comply with ESG criteria. "Our investment strategy in the Clean Energy Future Fund meets the highest requirements under Article 9 of the regulation," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. This makes the fund a "deep green" investment.
