Gefiswiss launches energy transition fund

News Team, 17/05/2022



Lausanne-based boutique investment firm Gefiswiss has launched the Energy Transition fund in partnership with STEEN Sustainable Energy SA (STEEN).

The fund will invest in  numerous infrastructure projects that are needed to meet Switzerland’s climate targets.

As Switzerland moves towards net-zero, in line with the 2050 Energy Strategy and the Confederation's 2050+ Energy Perspectives, there are opportunities to invest in the energy infrastructure needed to facilitate this transition, with total investment of over CHF 1,500 billion expected by 2050.

These will vary from localised residential schemes to municipal-wide shared heating networks.

The fund is Luxembourg based with a SICAV- SIF structure, and is available to qualified, professional and institutional investors.

Gefiswiss focuses on the financing of the development of sustainable real estate. The company has expertise in the construction and operation of real estate energy infrastructure, from small to large-scale projects. Its flagship Sustainable Real Estate fund has invested CHF 1.2 billion in real estate projects.

STEEN is a provider of sustainable energy planning on scales from residential, commercial and industrial through to municipal-wide. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.
