Criteria | Guiding
Principles | Sectors
- Invest
in a diversified portfolio of clean energy assets with projects
located primary in Asia with the objective of delivering attractive
long term returns.
- Balance investment focus between renewable
transportation fuels (ethanol and biodiesel) and projects that
generate electricity or other consumable energy produced from
renewable, waste or inherently low emission energy sources including
wind, hydro biomass, geothermal and solar. Investment in companies
providing energy savings/efficient technologies/low cost manufacturing
plants will be considered for the portfolio.
- Invest in both operating assets and projects
in the development stages. Investment in development stage projects
will be appropriately structured to minimize risk with operators/developers
with a proven track record and co-investment.
- Investments
in carbon credits will be conducted as an ancillary investment
to increase the yield of projects in the portfolio.
- Invest in
projects using proven technologies with demonstrated operation
in commercial use.
- Minimum equity ownership of 25% in a project
with appropriate board representation. Convertible debt instruments
will also be purchased.
- Returns to be achieved by cash equivalent
distribution to investors and exit/liquidity strategy via trade
sale or IPO of portfolio companies, with an IRR of 20% or better.
