Carbon Finance, Markets, Futures, Derivatives, and Trading

Last month I wrote a post on how Carbon is starting to be viewed as an asset class by the investment community.  I stumbled upon another reference to this in an article entitled “Is Carbon The Next Big Asset.”  This article is a little more focused on Australia, but it does discuss how it is being viewed around the world as well.  Here’s an excerpt: 

In terms of investment opportunities, Ezekiel said Credit Suisse was seeing carbon as an explosive market with decent liquidity.

Credit Suisse has had a lot of interest from individuals wanting access to the market, he said.

However, he also said it was a difficult market for retail investors to access.

Another downside was that a lot of the projects were based in emerging markets.

I think its worth checking out.
