Carbon credit funds vs. corporate bonds

Higher returns, lower risk, and a positive environmental impact. See why Carbon Credit Funds outperform Corporate Bonds — financially and environmentally.

Higher returns, faster growth

Investing in Carbon Credit Funds delivers:

PROJECTED RETURNS OF 15-22%

Far surpassing the 5-8% yields offered by Corporate Bonds

EXPONENTIAL MARKET POTENTIAL

Emerging market compared to predictable mature market of Corporate Bonds

*Investment involves risk. Projected returns are not guaranteed, and actual results may vary. The Green Carbon Fund's 22.5% IRR is over the fund's term and includes projected annual distributions of 11.25%, paid quarterly.

The carbon market advantage

The Corporate Bond market grows steadily but lacks the explosive potential of carbon credits. By contrast, the overall global carbon market is an emerging global opportunity. 

2025 - Now

Projected $695 billion market size, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.4%

2030 - 5 years time

Expected to exceed $4 trillion, driven by climate policies and corporate ESG commitments.

Why carbon credit funds are safer and smarter

Regulatory backing

Carbon Credit Funds are supported by global climate policies, ensuring consistent demand. Corporate Bonds depend on the issuer's financial health, making them vulnerable to defaults and credit downgrades.

Risk diversification

Carbon Credit Funds invest in global sustainability projects, minimizing exposure to sector-specific risks. Corporate Bonds are tied to individual companies, leaving portfolios vulnerable to industry downturns

Volatility comparison

Carbon Credit Funds are backed by a steady demand for carbon offsets, providing lower volatility. Corporate Bonds are moderately volatile, influenced by interest rates and economic fluctuations.
