VanderStyn launches $25m Green Carbon Fund to capitalize on increasing demand for carbon credits

Written by Editor | 26.09.2024

NEW YORK, NY - VanderStyn Asset Management (“VanderStyn”) announces the launch of the Green Carbon Fund (the “Fund”), offering individual investors access to the expanding carbon credit market. The Fund provides investors with exclusive opportunities to participate in early-stage high-quality carbon projects, a market traditionally limited to major corporations.

The Fund was established to leverage the rising demand and prices of carbon credits, providing individual investors access to premium, nature-based carbon projects. These projects are both environmentally impactful and economically viable, delivering strong financial returns.

Traditionally, the carbon credit market has been largely inaccessible to individual investors due to high entry costs, large-scale transactions, and complex regulations. The Fund removes these barriers to offer a more accessible investment opportunity, allowing all investors to participate in the growing carbon credit market and capitalize on expected price increases.

The Fund’s mission is to drive impactful environmental change while delivering substantial financial results for its investors. The management team is dedicated to supporting nature-based solutions by investing in a diverse range of projects, such as reforestation, conservation, mangrove restoration, and efforts to combat desertification.

The Fund aims for a 20% return on investment per year and offers:

  1. Strategic investment opportunities: Access to a curated selection of high-quality carbon credit projects.
  2. Exclusive market access: Opens the carbon credit market, which has been traditionally reserved for large corporations, to individual investors.
  3. Expert management: Managed by technical specialists including agronomists and foresters, ensuring each project meets high environmental standards.
  4. Risk mitigation: Diversification across various projects and regions, reducing investment risks and ensuring stability.
  5. Financial and environmental impact: Opportunities for significant financial returns coupled with contributions to global sustainability goals.

Investing in the Fund is designed to be straightforward, transparent, and impactful. VanderStyn invites potential investors to join them in this innovative venture that balances financial objectives with crucial environmental goals.

John Collins, Fund Manager: “The Green Carbon Fund provides individual investors with unprecedented access to the carbon credit market, a commodity market typically dominated by large corporations. By focusing on high-quality, nature-based projects, the Fund is projected to deliver both strong financial returns and critical environmental benefits. Multinationals have long capitalized on early access to discounted carbon credits, and now individual investors can seize these same opportunities to benefit from this market, aligning financial growth with meaningful environmental impact."

Selwyn Duijvestijn, Board Member: “Through my extensive experience in carbon project development as CEO of DGB Group, I’ve seen firsthand the strong risk-return potential that early-stage carbon projects offer. The Green Carbon Fund provides individual investors with a unique opportunity to tap into this market, which has traditionally been reserved for larger players. I’m proud to join the board and lead efforts to expand investment in these high-potential projects, driving both meaningful change and sustainable returns.”
