About klimaVest
klimaVest is not a robo-advisor and not a depot but a single real-asset fund: the klimaVest ELTIF, launched in Luxembourg in 2020, is a fonds commun de placement under Part II of the Luxembourg law of 2010 that is also approved as a European Long Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) for retail investors. It is managed by Commerz Real Fund Management S.à r.l. in Luxembourg under the supervision of the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF); the investment adviser is Commerz Real AG of Wiesbaden, which belongs to the Commerzbank group. It invests directly in wind and solar farms and in sustainable infrastructure in several European countries, aiming to combine a long-term return with a measurable contribution to avoiding CO2. There is no deposit protection (Einlagensicherung), and there cannot be: the fund assets are a special fund, held separately by a custodian and not part of the management company's insolvency estate – but price losses and illiquidity remain entirely with the investor.
