How Carbon Funds Differ
What distinguishes carbon funds from other investment funds?
First, carbon funds are newer than most; the secondary market for carbon rights emerged only recently—in 2004.
Second, carbon funds reflect environmental needs. These funds are a financial incentive for cleaning up the environment.
Setting up Carbon Funds
Entrepreneurs, corporations, governments—all come to United Trust to create carbon funds.
Carbon-fund clients ask the standard questions—and more. What is the fund’s volume? What structure is appropriate…. More specialised questions include, “Do emissions rights qualify as a financial instrument in my jurisdiction?”
Administering Carbon Funds
Administration includes structuring the fund and registering its domicile. Doing the accounting and reporting. Acting as the fund’s central administrator and transfer-agent. We also provide carbon custody and escrow services.
