Book Description

Publication Date: 30 July 2010

There is a huge change taking place as the world moves inexorably towards a low-carbon economy. 'The Green Investing Handbook' is aimed at the investor looking to profit from this global transition.

The book provides a detailed overview of the investment opportunities emerging in the companies behind these environmental technologies and services. It covers the standout firms operating in all the key green technology sectors, the trends of each sector and the industry as a whole, as well as the most important or promising green funds, ETFs and private equity funds.

The book delivers both demystifying explanations of the intricate technology at the heart of the green revolution, as well as providing comprehensive investment insight. It is designed to help the investor to make better-informed decisions when engaging with these complex, innovative and rapidly growing industries. And it does so whether you are interested in investing through equities, direct investment or funds.

The ten sectors covered in depth are:
- Solar power
- Wind power
- Marine energy
- Geothermal
- Power storage
- Smart grids
- Hydrogen and fuel cells
- Green transport
- Green buildings
- Waste and energy resources

Each chapter breaks down the trends and technology of the relevant sector, as well as its past performance, and looks at key advice and expert opinion on where they are headed. Notable company activity, technological development and government support is detailed throughout.

The second half of the handbook is dedicated to a comprehensive directory of over 150 green companies, covering performance snapshots and overviews. The activities of each are featured in turn, with important developments and key features covered. The directory also includes green funds - their size, strategies, charges and managers, and their manager's comments. The details of green private equity firms, ETFs and indices, as well as a bank of resources, round out this one-stop reference section giving you everything you need to start investing in the sustainability revolution.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent... 1 Sep 2010
By RE Investor (London)
Format:Paperback
I've read several books covering investment in this area. Unsurprisingly many bleat on and on about the positives, largely preaching to the converted, as well as doing so in what amounts to a very naive point of view for any professional investor or financier. This book is a very welcome antidote to all that rubbish: it's fabulously up to date and speaks with an intimacy with financial markets and their players that is missing elsewhere and yet is essential if one is seriously researching renewables. I'm giving it a rare 5 stars because it does exactly what is says on the tin, so to speak, which so many books like this simply don't do. Highly recommended to finance professionals. Congratulations to the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Green Investing Handbook: 2 Feb 2011
By William Gc Roney
Format:Paperback
We are all being told that the green revolution is one that will save our species. The oil is running out, and so will in time, the natural gas. Imagine if you could be in on the ground floor, investing in a new technology that could replace all of this but also earn you a decent slice of cash?

The aim of `The Green Investing Handbook' by Nick Hanna is to provide a sensible and logical baseline to this burgeoning industry. The whole book is set out in a logical and easy to follow manner, which is no mean feat considering the information that is being transmitted here.

The book itself is spilt in to four main sections "How to Invest, Where to Invest, Directory of green companies, Resources". In Part 2 there is further sub-division into the ten main areas of environmental services and technology, to give the reader a decent understanding of what investment in these areas entails, as well as a little bit of history of that part of the green industry. The directory in Part 3 provides a generous list of companies involved in green manufacture, split in a logical industry way to aid the location of a suitable set of contacts.

There is much to praise this book; the logical nature of its formatting, which aids the reader in finding the information that he wants; the sub-division of the industries that are potential investment points, and finally, the overall feeling that this book provides a complete range of possibilities. There is a proviso in the start of the book that states that all the information can change, and this is true given the rapid nature of industrial development in the modern world.

However, anyone considering investing or researching the green manufacturing industry could do a lot worse than use this book as their `bible'. Mr Hanna has written a handbook that will be part of the standard for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Green Ticket 12 Jan 2011
By P.S.
Format:Paperback
Nick Hanna's 'The Green Investing Handbook' cuts rights to the issues which concern individuals looking to align profit making with their environmental ethics. It covers the basics that investors, be they potential or already active, need to know. Its straightforward guide on Ethical Vs Green funds - an area that causes a plethora of confusion cuts right to the chase. It breaks down and examines the pros and cons of the various green power sources; wind, solar, marine and so on. Most importantly it outlines how individuals should approach green investing. An ideal guide for green and potentially green investors alike.
