What’s good for society is also good for my portfolio
Many people I talk to label sustainable investments as niche products with low expected returns. I say bullshit! The last ten years have shown incredible growth in impact investing. And that’s just the beginning!
Impact investments are the future
The impact investment market is still in its infancy, especially in Germany — but it is gaining tremendous momentum. Why is that? Bank of America recently found in a study that high sustainability companies had 47% higher returns than their low sustainability counterparts, while showing lower volatility. Jackpot.
By the way, read our whitepaper to learn more about why impact investments already often exceed the expected returns of conventional investment vehicles.
Your benefits
Growing market
Demand for green investments and for impact investments in particular is skyrocketing. Since 2015, the market has increased almost a hundredfold in Germany (from 70 million to around 6.5 billion euros).
Good return
Sustainable investments often perform better than traditional financial products. In a survey by the GIIN, more than 90% of impact investors said their return expectations were met or exceeded.
Full transparency
You decide what you indirectly invest your money in, not some fund manager. Through the Wattify app, you can monitor the current statistics of your project, information about your investments, current returns and your ROI on a daily basis.
Big idealism, small return?
No! Impact investments are not a niche for old-68s. In a GIIN survey, 88% of respondents said their financial expectations were met or exceeded. Nearly all of them were seeking returns in line with the market. Impact investments definitely don’t get in the way of returns. On the contrary.
Full transparency — isn’t that just a phrase?
Wattify discloses all project data: We make generated energy, avoided CO2 emissions and current return directly visible. The sustainable blockchain we developed, in combination with smart meter gateways, enables the liquefaction of the project in the form of tokens (asset & return) and a decentralized distribution to investors, depending on the investment amount.
In the end, don’t I do it all for my clear conscience?
Of course, with impact investments at Wattify, you’re also doing something for your good conscience. Who of us doesn’t feel like making a good difference? At the same time, impact investments represent a new development in the financial market and can balance your portfolio. At Wattify, you can invest indirectly in renewable energy, which has been underrepresented among most investors. And as I said, in terms of profit, our products can do far more than some people give them credit for!
