Performance during Q1 2024 was negative, although the fund performed slightly stronger in both absolute and relative terms during the latter part of the period. A driver to the weaker share price performance was the interest rates that, after a significant decline during Q4 2023, rose slightly at the outset of the quarter but then stabilized. Company reports overall were slightly stronger than during the previous quarter.

Energy savings within both industrials and construction, as well as climate-smart foods, were the strongest contributors to performance, while solar and energy storage had a negative impact. Companies such as Bakkafrost, Nextracker and TSMC were among the strongest positive contributors. The most negative impact was posted by Sunnova and Sunrun, driven by excessive concerns about balance sheets and refinancing risks, as well as EDPR, where weaker energy prices in the EU and poor wind power conditions weighed on outlooks for 2024.

The weaker share price performance in the climate sector stands in contrast to the additional climate investments that grew 17% in 2023 and according to IEA are expected to accelerate until 2030. Converting ambitions into concrete laws and regulations has been sluggish on the policy front. Despite this, the process is moving in the right direction, which can already be seen in certain segments in companies’ order books. Although the US election can result in an elevated tone within the climate segment, many of the climate proposals have widespread support across the parties, even though certain leading politicians point in another direction.

Interest rates continue to be a significant factor for development in the sector. We have seen a stabilization of interest rates in the past month and the central banks are signaling that the trend should be moving toward lower interest rates going forward.
