Ecofin Energy Transition UCITS Fund (EETU) Celebrates 3 Years of Delivering Strong Returns While Making an Impact on Global Decarbonization

Ecofin, a sustainable investment firm, is pleased to announce that Ecofin Energy Transition UCITS Fund (EETU) has reached its third anniversary. EETU invests capital in global companies and technologies that enable the transformation of the energy sector from one based on high carbon content fossil-fuels to one rooted in renewable and sustainable sources. Along with environmental, social and governance (ESG) implementation across the process, the fund’s strategy focuses on changes in the way energy is produced and consumed globally.

“Since Ecofin started managing the Fund’s assets, we have delivered a considerable absolute cumulative return of 90.3% and attractive alpha relative to the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index,¹” said Max Slee, Portfolio Manager.

“We are still in the early stages of a multi-decade structural growth shift that is creating secular opportunities which comprise the energy transition strategy, and the investment team remains focused on selecting the optimal exposures to these opportunities,” said Matt Breidert, Senior Portfolio Manager.

As of September 30, 2021, EETU has returned 69.8% cumulatively, or 19.0% annualised, since inception of its Class E shares on September 14, 2018. Assets in the fund totalled €85.4M and energy transition strategy assets managed by the firm and its portfolio managers totalled $225.1M.
