WHY PRIVATE ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENTS ARE GROWING
Across the environmental economy, investors are increasingly finding opportunities outside traditional public markets.
WHAT IS REGULATION A?
Often referred to informally as a “mini public offering,” Regulation A provides an exemption from traditional SEC registration that allows eligible companies to raise capital from the public through an offering that has been qualified by the SEC.
WHAT IS A REG D INVESTMENT?
Regulation D is a framework under U.S. federal securities laws that allows companies and investment sponsors to raise capital through certain private securities offerings without conducting a traditional SEC-registered public offering.
SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Instead of allowing valuable materials to become waste, circular systems seek to reuse, recover, repair, recycle and regenerate resources—keeping them productive for as long as possible.
SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: CARBON & NATURE
Forests store carbon. Wetlands help manage water. Healthy soils support agriculture. Ecosystems provide habitat, biodiversity and resilience.
SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: WATER
Every community, farm, business and industrial facility depends on reliable access to water. Yet aging infrastructure, population growth, changing weather patterns, water scarcity and increasing demand are creating new challenges for how water is sourced, treated, transported, used and reused.
SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Growing populations, changing weather patterns, water constraints, soil degradation and increasing demand for efficient food production are driving investment into technologies, infrastructure and practices designed to make agriculture more productive and resilient.
SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: CLEAN ENERGY
The transition toward a cleaner, more resilient energy system requires an enormous ecosystem of infrastructure, technology, manufacturing and capital.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
Global investment in clean energy technologies—including renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency and electrification—was projected to reach approximately $2.2 trillion in 2025.
BEYOND STOCKS: INVESTING IN REAL-WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS
When people hear “environmental investing,” they often think of buying shares in renewable-energy or clean-technology companies.
But the environmental investment universe extends far beyond the stock market.
