Evli markets impact forest fund

Nordic fund management boutique Evli Fund Management has opened a new impact forest fund geared toward institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals

Evli Impact Forest Fund I operates a fund-of-funds strategy and has selected between six and eight of the best global forest funds for the investment portfolio. The fund will adopt a global investment strategy, focusing on low-risk strategies and low-risk countries. The majority of investments will be made in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.

“Trees simply grow faster in the countries where we will invest, and happily, this drives both the carbon impact and higher return,” said Roger Naylor, portfolio manager of the fund. “For example, an investment of €1 million ($1.2 million) in the Evli Impact Forest Fund I can remove an estimated 21,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. The fund’s carbon sequestration impact is monitored and reported to investors on a regular basis.”
