Page 1 of 2 Global warming is big business. And, as Tony Levene reports, it has become a theme for the future. Tony Levene The Guardian Saturday November 17 2007 Floods, storms, hurricanes and tornados - only the most virulent deniers of global warming and its effects refuse to accept climate change and its effects. But a growing number of investors see new weather patterns and their results as opportunities, as well as problems. Fund managers are rushing to set up "climate change" funds. Allianz, F&C, HSBC, Jupiter and Schroders are leading the field with new or planned funds and HSBC calls climate change "one of the biggest investment themes for the foreseeable future". So far, these have attracted tiny amounts - under £100m - but there are hopes of increasing interest which will lead other fund managers to join in if the cash inflow becomes a reality. |
