Investment strategy
We have offered investment solutions in the sustainable infrastructure asset class across Europe since 2023, with profiles ranging from core to value add. We work with specialists on the ground to actively manage our assets all the way through to disposal, thereby achieving sustainable returns. The sustainable infrastructure team at KGAL focuses exclusively on the development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects, managing assets that help to prevent emissions harmful to the climate. We implement both buy-and-hold and buy-build-sell strategies.
We launch ESG-compliant fund products classified in accordance with Article 9 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation as part of our ESPF series. In all our investments, we pursue a holistic approach to asset management spanning the entire value chain – from project development to financing through to operation.

Sustainable infrastructure
and sustainability
The solutions we are offering in the sustainable infrastructure asset class are making a quantifiable contribution to decarbonisation geared to achieving the 1.5°C target set out in the Paris Agreement. Our investment solutions are helping to bring about a fossil fuel-free future. In 2023, we prevented 612,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions and fed approx. 2.61 terawatt-hours of green electricity into power grids.
We also adhere to stringent governance standards. In September 2018, for instance, KGAL signed up to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI). As a signatory, KGAL is required to report specific ESG information for review by the PRI initiative. And, after the KfW Bankengruppe engaged us to manage its PtX Development Fund, we are now working to lay the foundations for the industrial ramp-up of green hydrogen.
