THE OPPORTUNITY
A Structural Shift, Not a Cyclical Trend
Global investment in the energy transition reached US$2.3 trillion in 2025. IRENA estimates US$110 trillion in cumulative investment is needed by 2050 to achieve net-zero targets.
Despite this scale, most retail and wholesale portfolios remain materially underexposed to environmental infrastructure. Traditional equity benchmarks allocate less than 4% to pure-play renewable energy and environmental services.
EnviroInvest bridges this gap — offering institutional-quality access to a diversified portfolio spanning renewable energy, carbon markets, green debt, and innovative environmental technology.
“The world’s shift to clean energy represents the biggest change since the industrial revolution. We are looking at ever-increasing global demand for clean energy and the technology that generates and stores it”.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese - Macquarie Group event, New York, 23 September 2025

Common Questions
-
While the fund is newly established, our team brings over 60 years of combined investment experience, including managing Australia's #1 ranked equities fund. We apply the same rigorous, research-driven approach to the environmental sector. After all, you can’t invest in yesterday’s performance.
-
Our target of 10% net p.a. is also benchmarked against RBA + 4%. We feel this is achievable given the structural growth in renewable energy, carbon markets, and green infrastructure — sectors experiencing multi-decade tailwinds with government policy support.
-
Unlike ETFs, EnviroInvest is actively managed with direct access to pre-IPO, private, and illiquid opportunities across the environmental value chain. We target alpha through concentrated positions, not broad index tracking.
-
The lock-up aligns with the investment horizon required for environmental infrastructure assets. Many of our target investments are semi-liquid, and the lock-up ensures we can execute our strategy without forced selling during market stress. You can of course access your funds at anytime. However there will be a fee for balances withdrawn outside the lock-up period.
-
Our 1.25% management fee is competitive with comparable alternative funds. The 20% performance fee only applies above the benchmark (RBA + 4%) with a high-water mark — we only earn performance fees when we outperform.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your investment is held by an independent custodian (Interactive Brokers), administered by NAV Fund Services (A$260B+ AUA), and audited by Dry Kirkness. The fund operates under an AFSL with Non Correlated Capital as trustee. Of course we can’t eliminate market risk, however your investment is subject to detailed governance and structure.
-
Global energy transition investment reached US$2.3T in 2025. IRENA estimates US$110T is needed by 2050. This is a structural, multi-decade shift driven by physics, economics, and policy — not sentiment.
-
The minimum initial investment is $100,000, with additional investments from $10,000. This is a wholesale-only fund — investors must qualify under Section 761G of the Corporations Act.
-
Every investment is assessed against measurable environmental impact criteria. We track and report carbon abatement, renewable energy generation, and sustainability metrics. Our governance framework includes independent oversight and audit.
-
