Renewable energies have come of age. Wind and solar parks are now standard for investors. In recent years, many start-ups have emerged in this cleantech environment, including suppliers, service providers, software vendors. Few can be invested in directly, for example via the stock exchange. "Private equity is sought after here and enables access to these extremely interesting companies in early phases", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group.

The election results in the USA reinforce the trend towards sustainable investments. The Democratic Party's election platform suggests infrastructure programs worth billions - with a focus on sustainability. "This opens up many new opportunities for investors in the USA, but also in Europe," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "The decisive factor for investment success will be the know-how in the assessment and evaluation of the models".

The wind blew strongly in October 2020, driving electricity production from wind turbines to 129 percent of the expected target. Photovoltaics remained exactly within the target corridor with 100 percent output in Germany. "After several months in which the buffer from the spring melted away due to weak wind in the summer, wind is now delivering well above plan again", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

The risk/return gap between investments in renewable energies and real estate is widening. "Both asset classes are an alternative to each other especially for institutional investors", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "While both expect approximately the same net yield, the risk with real estate rises steeply at present."
