Off into the countryside!
After the stock market crash of the "Neuer Markt" and the huge losses that resulted from investments, more and more investors are attaching great importance to good stocks in terms of sustainability and ethical business practices. The talk today is of sustainable investments that are attracting investor interest. But do these investments in the form of natural power shares or crowd investing deliver what they promise?
Sustainable investments are a trend among equity investors
Sustainable investments appeal to investors on a number of levels. When you look at funds and investment opportunities from an ethical perspective, it is precisely the ethical values that lead to the purchase of these shares.
The current lifestyle is enabling this turnaround in the stock market. Fair trading is just as much in demand as organically grown products. More and more, it is also the ethical values that play a role before buying shares. With a self-determined responsibility towards society, socially responsible investment has long since reached international borders.
Natural electricity and green assets must also be counted on
So it stands to reason that with the environmental destruction the earth has experienced over the past few decades, green assets and natural power are also in demand as sustainable investments. However, even with the best thought of nature and sustainability in energy generation, such companies need to generate profits to keep themselves alive in the highly competitive market. Therefore, it is important that you take a good look at the individual companies with their reference projects before you invest in sustainable investments here. Especially in the field of energy production, the long term plays the central role. How are the individual projects running today? What about new customers and, ultimately, the business figures? Or is it all about the "green story" in the end?
Check sustainable investments before buying shares!
Sustainable investments are also ultimately equity positions from which you expect a profit. On the one hand, such investments give you the good feeling of creating something for society and the environment, but on the other hand, you are only boiling water here. The expected performance must be on paper at the end of the day. Before the disappointment about the loss after a few years is big, you should also watch every company meticulously here. The metrics from the past and looking ahead to the next few years are crucial here. Query such facts and don't just be fobbed off with a good sense of responsibility. Even in the industry of fair funds and ethical money, there are black sheep who are only too happy to exploit the current trend.
Watch out for stocks with ideological values
The decisive factor is the investment of tangible assets. Shares belong to the tangible assets of a company with a real value. In crowd-investing, for example, you can find some good companies that have understood and implemented the spirit of the times. This is all about innovative thinking and its successful implementation. Here, sustainable investments in the form of shares fit wonderfully. Therefore, be careful when you are offered sustainable investments that have a high ideological value. Only those who can convince investors with clear goals, unambiguous business figures and also a brief review will be the winners in the end.
