Wermuth Asset Management

About The Fund

Wermuth Asset Management (WAM) is a German family office and BaFin-regulated investment adviser based in Berlin, Germany. They have evolved from a family office, incubated in 1999, into an asset management firm that emphasizes high risk-adjusted financial returns with a positive environmental impact. WAM engages in a range of investment strategies, including private equity with a focus on resource efficiency, real estate development, systematic long/short equity, and long-only activist value investing, specifically within the electric power sector. Their core belief is that the ongoing green industrial revolution, driven by climate change and disruptive technologies, represents a significant investment opportunity that also benefits the environment. To capitalize on this, WAM takes smart positions across all asset classes, with a particular emphasis on growth-stage private equity. The firm is also a co-founder and ongoing partner in the Climate Endowment Group, which includes the Climate Endowment Run-of-the-river Hydropower Fund and the Climate Endowment Fund, focusing on long-term alternative investments and climate impact. Additionally, WAM has expertise in forestry, drawing from the founding family's background in the Black Forest's forestry and sawmill business. They value the combination of long-term investing and sustainability practices. Further, WAM hosts the Berlin Green Investment Summit, an annual event providing insights into profit-driven investments that foster positive climate change. Their investment platforms include the Green Growth Fund 2 (GGF2), which invests in European growth companies with the aim of high returns and environmental benefit, and the broad-focused Climate Endowment for investing across asset classes. With committed team members who have strong track records in finance and industry, WAM is dedicated to actively developing the companies within its portfolio. Their selected investments are aimed to thrive amidst and contribute to the green industrial revolution, reflecting their deep-rooted belief in the profitable fusion of financial returns and environmental improvement.
