Developed in conjunction with CMC group in 2010, The Chianti Fund seeks to acquire, consolidate and manage a portfolio of environmental offsets and streams of yet-to-be generated credits. The fund’s focus is on Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) generated from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. It acquires outright or consolidates the smaller fragmented holdings of project developers and consultants and seeks to unlock value through scale economies, diversification, centralized monitoring, project pricing and portfolio management techniques.

The Fund is an umbrella for several smaller closed funds, each of them of a specific size and risk profile.

Investment Approach:

The fund acquires and consolidates forward positions of CERs in 3 main ways:

• Consolidation and Aggregation of Developers/Consultants CER streams into a centrally managed fund.
• Direct forward CER off take commitments (ERPA agreements) with project owners or with owners of CER streams under ERPA agreements.
• Special Transactions involving upfront payment and direct purchase of carbon streams.
