Aavishkaar Group Balances Long-Term Carbon Investments
Aavishkaar Group is trying to solve a problem with investing in trees to capture carbon.
Trees take about 20 years to fully capture carbon, but most investors want to get their money back in 10–15 years.
This means investors sell the trees when they are only halfway through their carbon-capturing cycle, which is not ideal.
To fix this, Aavishkaar Group decided to use a special type of investment that allows them to keep the trees for the full 20 years, making the investment more valuable in the long run.
Bio-sequestration projects typically take 20 years to complete their carbon-sequestration cycle.
Most investors prefer to exit investments in 10–15 years, which conflicts with the 20-year cycle.
Aavishkaar Group has moved away from traditional closed-end funds to a permanent capital vehicle.
This new structure allows them to hold assets through their full biological and economic lifecycle.
The shift aims to balance long-term carbon investments with faster-return bets.
