Executive Summary

Carbon Cap Management LLP is a London-based alternative asset management firm operating in liquid regulated global carbon markets. Carbon Cap's mission is to raise awareness about climate change and to provide climate-oriented investment products and solutions. With a strong shareholder base, Carbon Cap is well-placed to establish a leadership position in the environmental investment industry.

Carbon Cap has undertaken groundbreaking research into carbon markets and carbon as an attractive alternative asset class. This includees authoring the seminal paper on carbon as an asset class, "The Carbon Risk Premium," which was published in the Journal of Alternative Investments.

Most governments and global investors now consider climate change to be one of the world’s greatest challenges, posing a large risk to both our way of life and investment portfolios. Ratified by more than 190 countries, the Paris Agreement sets out a framework and goals aimed at limiting the increase in average global temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius.

Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) have been established in multiple locations around the world to cap and reduce carbon dioxide emissions while allowing carbon trading between the major emitting entities. This approach has been successful at reducing emissions at low cost by using the market price of carbon as the key factor that drives emission reductions. Carbon Cap believes that these schemes are one of the most important market-based solutions needed to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.

In February 2020, Carbon Cap launched the World Carbon Fund, a globally diversified fund that invests into multiple liquid and regulated carbon markets. The Fund pursues an absolute return strategy, seeking to deliver positive returns with a low correlation to traditional and alternative asset classes as well as a direct impact on climate change.
