Diversify Your Portfolio with Alternative Investments on Raise Green

Introduction

Raise Green's marketplace empowers everyday individuals to invest directly in companies leading the charge in developing and delivering climate solutions. This platform serves as a gateway, providing investors the opportunity to support potentially impactful projects through alternative investments. These investments, often termed 'alternative' because they are not traded on public stock exchanges, offer a unique avenue for individuals to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.

The Opportunity of Alternative Investments

According to Bain Capital (FT, 2024), alternative investment products represent a significant opportunity. While individual investors hold approximately half of the over $275 trillion in global assets under management, they are estimated to hold just 16 percent of alternative investment capital (Bain & Company 2023). Raise Green's marketplace addresses this gap, making alternative investments accessible to non-accredited, accredited, and institutional investors.

From clean energy projects to climate adaptation and resilience startups, green bonds, and community development initiatives, Raise Green's platform provides a diverse array of alternative investment opportunities under Regulation CF. This regulatory framework enables companies to raise funds while granting investors access to unique and impactful projects.
