BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Essex Investment Management Company, LLC announces the launch of the Essex Environmental Opportunities Fund, a new mutual fund investing in what the portfolio management team, Bill Page and Rob Uek believe to be solutions for some of the greatest economic and environmental challenges today. “We are investing in technologies that enable economies and companies to operate more efficiently and sustainably – to do more with less”, states Rob Uek, co-portfolio manager for the Fund. “That is the essence of clean technology – solving complex problems such as urbanization in the emerging markets, associated environmental degradation, and transitioning energy sources beyond fossil fuels in the face of global climate change”, adds Bill Page, co-portfolio manager.
The Essex Environmental Opportunities Fund is based on Essex’s
long-standing institutional investment effort in public equities
centered on environmental solutions, the Essex Global Environmental
Opportunities Strategy (GEOS), and will be the same portfolio of global
equity securities. Co-Portfolio Managers Bill Page and Rob Uek have been
managing GEOS since June 30, 2009 for institutional investors through
separate accounts. The mutual Fund allows greater access and liquidity
for both retail and institutional investors, harnessing the domain
expertise garnered from the team’s collective 20 years of experience in
environmental investing in listed equities. The Fund will be offered in
two share classes, institutional (ticker GEOSX) and retail shares
(ticker EEOFX). Essex’s distribution and mutual fund services partner
for the Fund is Ultimus Fund Solutions, founded in 1999 and based in
Cincinnati.
