Capital built for the climate transition.
A disciplined approach to one of the world’s largest investment opportunities.
Investing where traditional capital cannot.
Australia’s energy and industrial systems are changing. Rising costs, improving technology and the shift to reduce emissions are driving demand for new solutions across energy, transport, waste and industry.
Many of the businesses delivering these solutions have proven technology, paying customers and growing revenue. But they often fall between traditional funding markets: too asset intensive for venture capital, too early for institutional investors and too risky to secure bank debt.
The Planet Fund invests in this gap.
We provide debt or hybrid capital to businesses and infrastructure that lower costs, improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
“The climate revolution is a multi-trillion-dollar investment opportunity.”
Real businesses. Flexible capital.
We invest in businesses and infrastructure that help reduce costs, improve efficiency and lower emissions across the economy.
Structural change creates opportunity.
Energy costs are rising. Businesses are under pressure to cut costs and operate more efficiently. That is creating real, sustained demand for cheaper, cleaner and more efficient ways of operating. We invest in businesses and infrastructure that are delivering cost savings, improved efficiency and emission reductions now.
Every sector is changing.
Every sector is changing as the economy transitions to lower emissions. We invest in Australian and New Zealand businesses that reduce emissions, lower costs and improve efficiency.
Our focus includes electrification, distributed energy, energy infrastructure, transport, waste and industrial efficiency.
Backing businesses ready to grow.
We invest in businesses with proven products, paying customers and revenue that seek capital to scale projects, infrastructure and operations.
The Fund provides flexible debt with the potential for a small equity investment.
Capital already at work.
We have begun deploying capital into a select group of businesses and infrastructure opportunities aligned with the Fund’s strategy. Our capital helps businesses scale and unlock larger pools of follow on funding over time.
Our approach is different.
We invest where others cannot.
Our ability to invest through debt or hybrid debt/equity structures allows us to structure capital around the needs of each opportunity.
Economics, not hype.
We back businesses delivering solutions that make commercial sense today, lowering costs, improving efficiency or providing a better product or service, rather than relying on green premiums or goodwill.
A bridge to the next milestone.
The businesses we back use our capital to reach the next milestone. Our capital is often the bridge that enables the next stage of growth and funding.
What we look for.
