If finance experts are to be believed, green investment is still worth despite the global economic blues. Sustainable investment options are set to become more attractive in the long run with the incorporation of the eco-stimulus. Currently, green stocks are showing stable returns on investments and investors who care about how and where their money is being used are opting for the “go green” option.
Investment can be a great way of making money if done in a logical and systematic manner. In the last few years, significant changes have been visible in the interest of investors across the world. Other than oil and gas, interest has deviated to sources of energy as it causes less harm to the environment and society. Thanks to the increased awareness on sustainable investment opportunities, several companies across the world are realizing the importance to preserve and protect the planet. In the form of a contemporary type of stock investment, green investments are becoming popular for the investors who want to use it as a source of helping the earth and the atmosphere.
There is no significant difference in green investment and stocks and mutual funds. The difference lies in the fact that green investment is made in companies committed to conservation of natural resources. These companies are actively involved in producing sources of alternative energy, clean water and air projects and products and services that bring a significant change to the communities and environment.
As far
as sustainable investment is concerned, green based projects are the main
concern. Even though this movement includes companies that are into other lines
of business, organizations that have modified their operations for running
environment-conscious business can also be included in it. For the next several
decades, green building, recycling and water will be the strongest growth points.
Earlier this year when the market was up for 21% in March, market for green
stocks rose to 30%. As part of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of
2009, approximately 14% is comprised of clean energy and efficiency.
