Investing in sustainable energy: electrification and the future of renewables
In the final part of our three part series for World Sustainable Energy Days, we take a closer look at electrification – the second largest part of the demand for sustainable energy. We look at how electrification is impacting the electric vehicle market, the infrastructure in place and lastly we ask our experts what else they believe still needs to be done.
We ask a number of fund managers and specialists their thoughts on the matter:
- Will Argent, fund advisor of Elite Radar VT Gravis UK Infrastructure Income
- Deirdre Cooper, fund manager of Elite Radar Investec Global Environment
- James Mahon, fund manager of Elite Rated Church House Tenax Absolute Return Strategies
- Rebecca Myatt, portfolio manager of Elite Rated First State Global Listed Infrastructure
- Jonathan Waghorn, energy specialist at Guinness Asset Management
World Sustainable Energy Days (4 – 6 March 2020) is an annual sustainability conference held in Austria. It hosts events centred on sustainable energy production and use, which covers energy efficiency and renewable energy sources for buildings, industry and transport.

Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
