Frequently asked questions

How does the typical Carbon Equity investment work?
Expand text

Carbon Equity only offers top-tier private market funds with a focus to decarbonize the planet. We pool investments through our Carbon Equity investment vehicles. This means that all cash transfers, fees and expenses are paid through our investment vehicles. Carbon Equity represents you as an investor towards the underlying funds. To ensure secure and efficient fund investment & management we work with best in class partners such as AssetCare, Finnius, Zuidbroek and Amstone.

How do you measure impact?
Expand text

First, we assess how committed a fund is to impact. Funds can prove their impact commitment to investors in several ways, including its impact mandate, impact goal, impact thresholds, impact sourcing and impact incentives. Then, we thoroughly vet a fund on its climate impact. We do so using our proprietary climate impact scorecard that requires input on 40+ questions across 12 topics.

Can I invest from outside of the Netherlands?
Expand text

Yes, except for our Access to Climate Tech Fund II. Investors from around the world invest with Carbon Equity. Some countries may require that investors meet Accredited or Qualified Investor criteria. Such criteria require that you have a minimum net worth, a certain level of annual income or professional experience working as an investor. These criteria will differ per country. Until we have requested specific access to a country, the Access to Climate Tech Fund II is restricted to Dutch residents only.

How and when do I need to transfer my investment?
Expand text

After you finalize your subscription to a fund, you are ready to invest. We will hold a closing every few months in which we accept investors who finalized their onboarding process. In the closing you will be legally accepted as an investor in the fund and shortly afterwards you will receive a capital call. A capital call is the request to transfer (part of) your committed investment amount.

Certain minimums may apply. Generally speaking, the first capital call will be the higher of  €100,000 or 25% of your commitment. The remainder of your commitment will be called over roughly 5 years in semi-annual installments which depend on the expected calls from underlying funds (e.g. roughly 5-10% of the commitment will be drawn every 6 months).

If you qualify as a professional investor or if you invest in one of our funds specifically aimed at investors who commit to investing below €100,000, the minimum capital call will be different.

Investments into private equity are speculative and risky. The value of investments can vary over time. Investments into private equity have a long horizon (exceeding 10 years) with no or limited liquidity. If you cannot afford to potentially lose your full investment, it is best not to invest. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Investing in a private equity fund is not comparable to a deposit with a bank."
