Guinness Global Investors has named renewable-energy specialist David Freeder as head of sustainable infrastructure, according to Investment Week.
Freeder will lead the development of the company's sustainable-infrastructure service, while also developing the firm's broader strategy and investor offering in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy.
Freeder previously ran his own consultancy and worked as an investment director at Downing before that. He also held roles at EY and Deloitte.
“David's broad-ranging experience will considerably enhance Guinness's capabilities in renewable energy infrastructure investment, where Guinness has a long and successful record of investing,” said Charlie Crole, head of institutional for Guinness. “Institutional investors, in particular, are increasingly looking to this asset class to provide stable, risk-adjusted returns and to help in the fight against climate change.”
