Making a Difference
Thornbridge firmly believes that the asset management industry needs to think harder about strategies, work closely with governments and focus its efforts on financing the right projects and advocating the right policies. Asset managers have become more vocal about dropping stocks that fail to address environmental issues but companies do not disappear because managers decide not to own them.
Key partners are listed below:
Galvanize Global Equities Master Fund LP
Thornbridge is the sub adviser on the Galvanize Global Equities Master Fund LP. The Funds’ returns are driven by investing in equities of portfolio companies across global equity markets that the manager believes will either directly benefit from their participation in the energy transition contemplated under the Paris Agreement, or whose activities the manager believes will contribute to delivering the abatement required to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
HydrogenOne Capital Growth Fund
The Hydrogen One Capital Growth fund is the first London-listed investment fund dedicated to clean hydrogen. The fund is targeting a diversified portfolio of hydrogen assets, from investible universe of c.US$90bn, offering distinctive liquid access to private equity, difficult to access elsewhere. Clean hydrogen has a key role in decarbonisation for the energy transition, and improved air quality and policy makers and industry are converging on clean hydrogen as a core technology to deliver Net Zero and improved air quality. The Paris Agreement has led >30 countries to set out hydrogen policies and US$70bn of funding as part of Net Zero targets. New legislation underpins future investment into hydrogen. The growth in wind and solar energy globally is a major energy supply for new green hydrogen projects, now.
World Carbon Fund
The World Carbon Fund invests globally into the most liquid, regulated carbon markets or Emission Trading Systems (ETS). The fund objectives are to generate absolute returns with a low correlation plus a direct impact on climate change. 20% of performance fees are used to purchase and cancel carbon. A $5 million investment may remove 1,000 tonnes of CO2 which represents the carbon footprint of approximately 100 European individuals or a family office. To stimulate a reduction in emissions, there must be a price placed on carbon emissions. “Cap and Trade” Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) force companies to include the cost of carbon into their production cost. The total amount of carbon in each market is “capped” and the cap is reduced annually, guaranteeing reductions.
