Lærernes Pension har gode erfaringer med at investere i naturgenopretning gennem amerikanske Ecosystem Investment Partners (EIP), og nu har vi sammen med de to pensionsselskaber AP Pension og Sampension i fællesskab givet tilsagn om at investere over 1 mia. kr. i den seneste fond, Ecosystem Investment Partners V. De tidligere investeringer har både givet fornuftige afkast til vores medlemmer og sikret genopretning af naturområder i forskellige amerikanske stater. Her er eksempelvis et billede af resultatet fra Lawrence County, Kentucky, hvor EIP har sikret genetablering af et ødelagt vandløb. ”Det er nogle meget meningsfulde projekter, EIP indtil videre har kastet sig over, og som samtidig har været en god investering for vores medlemmer. Derfor er vi også glade for at kunne udvide samarbejdet og komme nærmere på vores målsætning om samlet set at lave flere klima- og miljørelaterede investeringer,” fortæller vores chef for alternative investeringer, Tobias Friis, CFA, CAIA. https://lnkd.in/dpkgjUrs

Sampension investerer stort i miljøgenopretning ☘ Sammen med AP Pension og Lærernes Pension investerer vi nu tilsammen 1,1 milliarder i miljøgenopretning samt bevarelse af natur og biodiversitet gennem den amerikanske investerings fond, Ecosystem Investment Partners (EIP). Den nye investering er ikke blot til gavn for miljøet, den sikrer også vores kunder og medlemmer fornuftige afkast. Det er en win-win-situation, som vi kan forstå 🌲💰 EIP investerer i miljøgenopretning i USA med fokus på vådområder, vandløb og truede dyrearter.

Ecosystem Investment Partners is deeply grateful for our partnership with the team at AP Pension and for the continued support of our longstanding investors Sampension and Lærernes Pension. We share our investors’ excitement about the opportunity to build upon EIP's 17-year track record of investing in the well-established nature-based solutions and biodiversity markets throughout the US! Thank You Helle Ærendahl Heldbo Pia Bastrup Majken Hauge Andrea Zerath Tobias Friis, CFA, CAIA Hans Christian Hansen de Guzman Céline Claudon
Kan man skabe afkast 💰 til kunderne og samtidig få mere vild natur 🌳 🌼 🐝 ? Svar er ja, det kan man i USA. Derfor har AP Pension sammen med Lærernes Pension og Sampension givet et investeringstilsagn på mere end 1 mia. kr. til Ecosystem Investment Partners, som netop arbejder med miljøgenopretning og bevarelse af natur og biodiversitet. I dag er det desværre ikke muligt at lave den slags investeringer i Danmark og Europa, og det synes vi er en skam i AP Pension. Det har vores chef for alternative investeringer, Helle Ærendahl Heldbo talt med Jakob Martini fra Finans om. - Vi ville hjertens gerne investere i genopretning af naturen i Danmark og Europa, hvis det var muligt. Men vi har brug for, at politikerne etablerer et system, som gør det muligt for os, siger Helle blandt andet til Finans.

Happy Endangered Species Day, from Beaver Creek Hydrology! From Kentucky’s place nestled in the southeast, it showcases the rolling hills of the bluegrass, the crawling knobs, the low valleys of the west, and the mountains in the east. These topographical changes aid in promoting the great plant and wildlife diversity we see statewide. Today we highlight two species that, despite Kentucky’s great biodiversity, are struggling as our world expands. 🐟The first species is the Kentucky Arrow Darter. This stream fish is currently listed as threatened in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Threatened and Endangered Species List. When it comes to darters, this species is on the larger end, measuring over 4 inches in length. These darters are known for their variety of red-orange and blue-green spots, of which the males are the most colorful. The Kentucky arrow darter inhabits rocky riffles and pools of headwaters, creeks, and small rivers. This darter was determined to be present at Ecosystem Investment Partners North Fork Mitigation Bank site in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Post-construction and into the monitoring of the North Fork site, the local Kentucky arrow darter population has been recorded to have grown significantly, with a portion of the mitigation site now considered an Outstanding State Resource Water! 🦇The second species is the tricolored bat. In September 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed the tricolored bat for protection under the Endangered Species Act, due to its susceptibility to white nose syndrome. The tricolored bat is one of the smallest species in North America and found throughout the US, as far as southern Canada and Mexico. They have become well adapted to human infrastructure, though they prefer the warmer humid portions of caves where available. They are an insectivorous species and spend their nights searching for food along woodland edges and near waterways. It’s for this reason that ecologists in the stream restoration industry sometimes find them in acoustic recordings or mist netting. A small species for sure, but one with a big impact on our local ecosystems!
