Renewables for your portfolio

Renewable energy investments are increasingly seen as a highly promising financial opportunity. Their key role in the global energy transition and the rising emphasis on sustainability make them a smart choice for forward-thinking investors. Unlike finite fossil fuels, renewable energies are virtually inexhaustible and contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the standout benefits of renewable energy investments is their long-term stability.Based on natural resources like the sun, wind, and water, these energy sources are less susceptible to market fluctuations compared to traditional energy sources. This stability translates to reliable, steady returns for investors over extended periods.

The demand for global energy is on the rise, and both governments and corporations are prioritizing sustainable practices. This creates an optimal environment for investing in renewable energy assets, such as wind and solar parks or hydropower plants. Supportive political frameworks and financial incentives further enhance the growth potential of this sector. Many governments worldwide have set ambitious targets for expanding renewable energies, backed by subsidies and incentives to encourage investment and development.

Embrace the future of energy by investing in renewables and benefit from their promising financial prospects while making a positive impact on the planet.

How do I benefit from the asset class Renewables?

Attractive returns

More investors are turning to renewable energies, drawn by the increasing returns they offer. Intensive research and substantial investments have significantly reduced the specific investment and production costs of renewable energies. Coupled with rising demand and energy prices, this makes renewables a highly attractive investment opportunity.

Growing demand

Several key factors are fueling the growing demand for renewable energy such as the increasing impacts of climate change and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are major drivers. Rapid technological progress has led to greater reliance on electricity and other energy forms, further boosting demand. This trend is expected to persist in the coming decades, making energy investments a crucial component of a sustainable future.

Frequently asked questions.

Here you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions about FINEXITY.

What are the benefits of private market investments?

In recent years, investments in private markets have proven to be extremely successful. For example, private equity investments have regularly exceeded public market returns, which has significantly increased interest and access to these investment opportunities. The traditional 60/40 division between stocks and bonds is no longer sufficient to meet today's financial requirements. A balanced mix of public and private market investments is essential. A strategic allocation to private markets can diversify and optimize the portfolio regardless of the investment horizon. With the help of a trading venue, FINEXITY brings issuers and trading partners together, giving investors access to high-yield and tradable tokenized private market investments.

What does FINEXITY's range of services look like?

With the help of a trading venue, FINEXITY brings issuers and trading partners together, giving investors access to high-yield and tradable tokenized private market investments. Issuers of digital securities (security tokens and, in future, crypto securities) thus benefit from access to trading partners and investors, which leads to faster fundraising with lower asset management fees. FINEXITY offers trading partners, such as banks and asset managers, access to pre-qualified private market investments via a white label solution. This enables them to attract new investors, retain existing customers, and at the same time build up more crisis-resilient portfolios. Investors benefit from high-yield private market investments with lower capital requirements, improved liquidity, lower costs and greater transparency.

How do investments via FINEXITY work?

A digital security is structured via an issuer. This is offered to investors as an investment via a trading partner (e.g. Finexity Invest GmbH). To do so, investors must register on the trading partner's marketplace. Here they can find out more about the investment and view and download the documents provided by the issuer. After successful online authentication via the provider IDnow, they can make the investment. Payment can be made via bank transfer or via the integrated e-wallet solution. As soon as the financing volume of an investment has been reached, the tokens are issued into users' wallets. The investment now appears as an asset on each user's dashboard.

Who is the owner of the investment property?

The owner of the investment property is an object company provided by an issuer. This property company acquires the corresponding property with the capital provided by the investors' tokenized bonds and possibly bank financing. A trading partner (e.g. Finexity Invest GmbH, under the liability umbrella of Effecta GmbH) acts as a (bound) intermediary between the issuer and the investors. This enables investors to subscribe to tokenized bonds that are structured as economic as (pro rata) direct investments. Investors therefore participate in selected investment properties just like owners, but also bear certain risks, which are described in detail in the respective bond conditions and subscription documents.

How liquid are the shares?

Private market investments are inherently illiquid, as they require long-term capital commitments and typically cannot be sold quickly. This illiquidity poses a challenge for investors who need flexibility and quick access to their invested capital. However, via the secondary market operated by FINEXITY, investors can trade digital shares of tokenized private market investments independently and free of charge across all trading partners at any time. Over-the-counter peer-to-peer trading dissolves the magic triangle of investment - the competition between profitability, security and liquidity - and thus opens up new opportunities for individual portfolio management and flexible wealth creation. As soon as the initial financing phase for a project has been completed and digital shares have been issued in the form of security tokens, this is activated for the secondary market. There, all users have the opportunity to post both buy and sell offers and thus trade digital shares in the form of real-time transactions. Transactions are processed via an e-wallet integrated into the platform. The secondary market is a form of investment brokerage and is supervised by our liability umbrella Effecta GmbH.

How does tokenization work and which blockchain is used?

Tokenization allows legitimate ownership claims to be recorded and, at the same time, these claims can be traded. The investment property is acquired through the capital raised and potentially through bank financing. A digital share of one euro each is shown on the blockchain. After successful financing, tokens worth the entire investment amount are issued. Each investor receives a number of tokens according to their investment. This concept is implemented using smart contracts, which digitally define the conditions of the capital investment. After the tokens have been issued to investors, a logged order book is created, which enables the legal identification of current investors. The underlying blockchain is a private permissioned blockchain on Ethereum that meets the strict regulatory requirements in Germany. This ensures legal security for investors. Using a private permissioned blockchain avoids using a decentralized blockchain with hundreds or even tens of thousands of servers, which significantly reduces the environmental footprint. The few servers used are also located in CO2-neutral or compensated data centers.

Which tokens are used and how are they stored?

Security tokens are used that have the same or similar rights as “classic” securities. Securities-like rights are membership rights or debt claims with asset content, similar to shares and debt securities. They then generally represent securities (“Securities sui generis”) within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (ProspektVO), the Securities Prospectus Act (WpPG) and the Securities Trading Act (WpHG) or financial instruments within the meaning of the Banking Act (KWG) and the Securities Institutions Act (WPIG). For the secure storage of security tokens, a wallet is available to every user as a digital locker for personal storage. No deposit is required and there are no costs for personal safekeeping. The wallet is connected to a login to the technical platform. Neither FINEXITY nor the trading partners have access to users' login data, and the private key to the wallet is also secured in encrypted form by an external authorization and authentication provider. A double opt-in procedure is used for users' email addresses, and every transaction approval is made via mobileTAN via mobile phone number (2FA procedure).
