Sustainable Investing

BlackRock and NTR plc formed a strategic relationship in February 2011 to launch a new renewable power investment group.  This comprises a number of key renewable power principals from NTR joining the BlackRock Alternative Investors investment platform.  The new renewable power investment team will combine the international track-record of NTR in renewable power infrastructure development with the global fund management and distribution capabilities of BlackRock. 

As part of the strategic relationship between the two companies, NTR will provide market perspective and insights to the renewable power investment team and will also retain an economic interest in an identified set of products on the new investment platform.  Current and past renewable energy infrastructure activities of NTR have included the development of over four gigawatts of wind and solar projects in the US and Europe.

This strategic partnership has led to the recent launch of the BlackRock NTR Renewable Power Fund.
