Climate investor and cofounder reveals her top 95 climate impact stocks
The Complete Guide To Cleantech Investing for 2023 is Available Now
Bloom Impact Investing, the Brisbane-based Fintech making climate investing easy and accessible, has released the 2023 Complete Guide To Cleantech Investing: A guide featuring and reviewing 95 Climate impact listed companies to inspire more Australians to do well and do good via climate investing.
About the report
Using financial data and impact analysis, Bloom’s team developed The Complete Guide To Cleantech Investing for 2023. The report details their proprietary methodology for how to select high-growth climate investment opportunities and capitalise on the Green technology transition that’s occurring today.
Dan East, Bloom’s CIO said: “Our guide provides great insight into some of the fantastic listed companies locally and internationally which are making a real difference. For each investment, we detail the climate impact, market capitalisation of the asset and past returns data. We want to show our community that green investing doesn’t stop with solar. Innovative technology companies across a wide range of solutions are on a growth mega-trend: Green Hydrogen, Energy Storage, Lithium & Critical Materials, Alternative Cement, the list goes on.”
Camille Socquet-Clerc said “We are proud to be sharing publicly and for free, what we believe is the most complete and thorough resource on green-listed stocks online. We know that a lot of investors are looking for information on how to do climate investing and searching for the best renewable stocks to invest in, but they don’t have the resources or the time to do the research. After months of research and work compiling this data, we hope this report will inspire thousands of Australians to start or enhance their climate investing journey”.
About Bloom
Bloom Impact Investing developed a first-of-its-kind opportunity for both sophisticated and retail investors to obtain exposure to attractive private climate infrastructure projects, private green alternatives, listed equities and fixed-income green bonds. Bloom’s impact fund* is a diversified managed fund that invests in over 50 different climate solutions across different asset classes, and geographies.
Camille told reporters “We want Australians to understand that climate impact investments like solar farms and bioenergy projects are a significant opportunity for all Australians, not just investment banks. There’s no shortage of Australian cleantech companies, green bonds and ESG ETFs available today, but there is also a ton of greenwashing and the best climate assets have been for too long restricted to very wealthy investors. We created a way to give regular Aussies like myself a chance to invest in world-class asset managers like Octopus Investments and Kilter Rural who are creating infrastructure and managing climate projects in our backyards. These investment opportunities offer sustainable returns and help solve the climate crisis.”
Bloom Impact Investing developed a proprietary science-based, positive screening methodology to invest in strong business models, technologies and innovation driving strong commercial outcomes as well as delivering genuine climate impact. Their investment committee leverages two climate science frameworks. The first Project Drawdown® an international nonprofit organisation that seeks to help the world reach “drawdown”. Drawdown is the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline. The second, ClimateWorks an Australian nonprofit that develops independent, evidence-based solutions to assist the transition to net zero emissions for Australia.
Camille said one of the reasons they have had such a rise in customers is that one in three self-managed superannuation funds established over the past year was set up by investors under the age of 45. This new wave of millennial SMSF investors was to control their own superannuation and make climate-based investments to drive impact.
Bloom’s co-founders, Camille Socquet-Clerc & Bertrand Caron have already had great support from Australian finance, technology and wealth veterans: Dominic Pym, Australian Fintech Leader of the Year & Neobank, Up co-founder. Envato founders Collis and Cyan Ta’eed. As well as their seed investor and founder of Future Super, Adam Verwey.
Bertrand, co-founder and CTO told us “We wanted to make it easy for everyday Australians to invest in Bloom’s Impact Fund. Aussies can now start investing with as little as $100.” Interestingly, since unlocking SMSF and Trust investment options Bloom has seen their median customer age mature rapidly and the typical account balance for self-managed super funds has grown to over $27,000.
