Natsource Asset Management manages the Greenhouse Gas Credit Aggregation Pool (GG-CAP), a private sector mechanism designed to assist companies to cost-effectively meet greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and the Kyoto Protocol (KP). Their capital is used to purchase and manage delivery of a large pool of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) which participants can use to comply with GHG emissions targets from 2005-2012. The 24 participants in GG-CAP are among the largest consumer product, manufacturing, steel, energy and utility companies in Europe, Japan and North America. Natsource also manages a series of managed accounts established in 2005. They launched their private investment funds in 2006. The managed accounts and the funds are investment-oriented vehicles which exploit opportunities in the emissions and renewable energy markets. The managed accounts and the funds employ a variety of regulatory, financial and trading strategies to achieve superior returns for their investors. The capital is used to support emissions and renewable energy projects early in the development process and to assist developers to leverage additional sources of financing. Target markets include: (1) GHG reductions in all markets (2) the renewable energy generation in the US and Europe and (3) conventional air pollutants such as SO2 and NOx.
