Aviva Investors launches carbon removal fund

Aviva Investors has launched their new Carbon Removal Fund providing investors with returns from investments in carbon removal solutions.

The Aviva Investors Carbon Removal Fund will invest directly in both nature-based and engineered carbon removal solutions that can provide carbon removal credits as part of the portfolio. The fund provides access to investments such as afforestation and restoration projects across areas of peatland and mangroves, as well as commercial forestry, venture capital and private equity-based nature tech, and alternative carbon removal companies.

The fund is classified as Article 9 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation framework.

Daniel McHugh, Chief Investment Officer at Aviva Investors, said, “We are incredibly pleased to bring this fund to market, which serves as another example of our ability to match investment expertise with product innovation. Investors have been consistent in calling for investment strategies that can deliver long-term performance whilst also helping them to align with net zero ambitions. We think our Carbon Removal Fund is truly at the forefront of how asset managers can best-capture these opportunities. This is a fund designed for investors with ambitious decarbonisation pathways in place and that are looking for ways to hedge against exposure to carbon pricing.”
