(N.B. in Swedish). Placera & Avanza, 11 & 14 Dec 2015 Despite the falling oil and gas prices, renewables had yet another record-breaking year in 2015.

Risk and return, since fund inception (EUR) Sharpe, since fund inception (EUR)

Performance: The fund and peers

  • CB Save Earth Fund’s objective is to offer investors a low risk alternative within a segment

characterised by high risk. The fund has, since inception in 2008, had a significantly lower risk than peers while delivering a highly competitive return; a combination that results in a high Sharpe ratio.

  • The water sector has been the best performer by far among the three environmental sectors.

Nevertheless, the fund has a competitive Sharpe ratio also compared to the water funds.

  • MSCI World is practically never the best performer; every year (with narrow exceptions in 2011 and 2014) an environmental

sector has performed better, why the prospects for active allocation are good.

  • Renewable energy, as a high-beta sector, has had very volatile returns: 2007 and 2013 were stellar years for the sector, while

2008 and 2010-2012 were lousy. In stark contrast stands the water sector which over the last 10 years has performed better or in line with the world index, which is why we argue that the sector provides a good base in our portfolio, whereas renewable energy (and cleantech) serves as satellites/complements.

  • The difference in returns between the sectors has decreased over time and converged with the returns for the world index – we

see this as a sign of maturity for the environmental sector.

  • Since the peak in June 2014, the oil price has fallen 65%, in USD. Historically, sharp declines in the oil price have always

been followed by significant underperformance in the environmental sector in general and in the renewable energy sector in particular – but this time is somewhat different.

  • The table shows the four largest drawdowns in the oil price over the last decade and the relative performance of the

environmental sectors against MSCI World Net during these periods. During each drawdown, the sector has underperformed against the world index, but this time the renewable energy sector has seen its best relative performance, despite the oil price drawdown being the second largest. We see that as a sign of a more mature industry less affected by external shocks. The water sector has performed best of the three sectors during each of the four drawdowns.

  • The graph shows the return for CB Save Earth Fund and the MSCI World Energy index since the oil price peak in June 2014.

The fund has performed substantially better than the index (oil/gas companies) and can be seen as a good hedge against weak performance from fossil fuel related companies (caused by low oil price, stranded assets etc.).

What are the implications of a falling oil price on the environmental sector?

Analysis: A more mature sector

C B S A V E E A R T H F U N D

A more consolidated market – market shares for the 5 largest Chinese module makers 2009-2015E …leads to better margins for the producers, despite falling prices on solar panels.

  • The five largest Chinese producers of solar panels is expected to make up almost 40% of the world market in

2015; the entry barriers rise due to economies of scale and the producers become price makers (from being price takers).

  • A more mature industry creates conditions for profitable growth: the gross margin was 2% for the module makers

in Q4 2012; in Q2 2015 it had risen to more than 20%.

Analysis: Adoption curves are not linear, they are exponential

C B S A V E E A R T H F U N D

The price of solar energy (real, in $/MMBTU) has fallen sharply during the last years

  • The

figure illustrates the price development of the five different types of energy: Natural gas ("Henry Hub"), coal ("US Bitumous Coal"),

  • il

("Brent"), liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and solar energy ("solar").

  • The price of solar energy has in recent

years fallen sharply and is now a competitive alternative to

  • ther

more established forms of energy.

  • The

energy market is becoming technology-based, which implies that higher demand gives lower prices (comp. Moore’s law). A new world order...

  • Most adoption curves are so-called S-

curves, which implies exponential rather than linear growth. When the new technology reaches 10% market share it’s game

  • ver:

the new technology substitutes the old one.

  • Solar and wind currently accounts for a

small fraction of the global energy market (1.6%), but the proportion has increased 8x in 10 years. What is interesting is that solar and wind today represents more than 20% of the new capacity installed globally. Renewable energy is still marginal, but it begins to have a significant impact on the margin.

Eras of energy production: history speaks for substitution

  • Historically, new technologies have substituted old; old technologies (fossil energy) is becoming more expensive

and less accessible, while new technologies become cheaper and more easily available - hence a “waterfall development".

  • The forecast is "blind": new technologies are almost impossible to foresee; just as we know very little today about

the technologies of coming decades, as little did we know about solar energy a couple of decades ago.
