HOW IMPACTFUL IS YOUR PORTFOLIO?

 

ESSEX ENVIRONMENTAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

 EEOFX / GEOSX

 
 

WELCOME

Essex Environmental Opportunities Fund (EEOF) operates at the nexus of environment and finance, investing in companies that enable greater natural resource and energy efficiency. EEOF is a listed-equity, global, all-cap mutual fund investing across nine environmental technology themes in long-only fashion with about 40 holdings. EEOF is clean technology and energy infrastructure-focused, with companies that exhibit generally-high growth potential. The Fund is benchmarked to the MSCI World Index.

 

Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.  There is no guarantee that this, or any, investing strategy will be successful.  Small and mid cap investing involve greater risk not associated with investing in more established companies, such as greater price volatility, business risk, less liquidity and increased competitive threat.

Disclosure: Because the Adviser's GEOS criteria exclude securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons, the Fund may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not follow the environmental themes inherent in the GEOS strategy.  The Fund's direct or indirect investments in foreign securities involve risks not associated with investing in US securities that can adversely affect the Fund's performance.  Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets.

Clean Tech Solutions at this point in the Cycle

As we have listened to quarterly corporate earnings calls for the second quarter, followed by meetings with many management teams over the course of the third quarter, one oft-repeated theme expressed is rising input costs, whether labor, freight, materials or components.
