Carbon credits

Carbon credits based on reductions that have already taken place and been documented - from renewable generation and from forest carbon sinks, bought at source and held until they are needed.

The strategy

The voluntary carbon market has a credibility problem, and most of it comes down to timing. Credits are commonly sold against reductions a project expects to deliver in future. If the project underdelivers, or never happens, the credit was never worth what was paid for it.

This strategy takes the opposite position. It buys only credits that rest on reductions already achieved and documented - from photovoltaic, wind, hydro and combined heat and power generation, and from forest carbon sinks. By buying only credits from reductions already achieved and verified, the strategy completely eliminates project delivery risk, only leaving exposure to price, liquidity, regulatory and reputational risks.

Credits are bought directly from the certifying producer, held, bundled and sold on to companies that use them to offset the footprint of their operations or their products. Holding periods are part of the strategy to maximise returns.
