Benefits of the Climate Change Fund

  • Thematic funds in SICAV structures can diversify investments by offering access to v various climate change-related firms and initiatives across industries and locations.
  • Retail investors can invest in the Nevastar Finance SICAV climate change fund through retail investment platforms, financial advisors, or direct investments because UCITS funds are accessible.
  • A 1% yearly charge is moderate in investment funds.

Risks of the Climate Change Fund

  • Since the fund’s performance depends on its climate change focus, themed investing might be risky. Climate change funds focus on long-term trends and structural developments, but if the topic underperforms or has setbacks, returns may suffer.
  • The performance fee rewards outperformance, which aligns fund managers’ interests with investors’, but it can raise the cost of participating in the NSF fund, especially during elevated market performance.

Bottom Line

In terms of performance alone, the Nevastar Finance Climate Change Fund offers mixed results.

The good thing with thematic investing is that it exposes one to trends with tremendous growth potential and new investment opportunities.

In assessing the fund’s appropriateness for investor portfolios, they should take into account the performance relative to market circumstances, investing targets, and susceptibility to risk.
