Berlin Investors in the cleantech funds of the investment house Thomas Lloyd had to wait a long time for the annual financial statements for 2020. Now it is clear: It was a horror year. The Fifth Cleantech Infrastructure Company (CTI) alone recorded an annual deficit of more than 80 million euros.
It is by far the largest fund in the series. Private investors have endowed it with around 433 million euros. In addition to the Fifth CTI, two smaller funds in the CTI series are each reporting deficits of more than 12 million euros. According to management, the main reason for the losses is the corona pandemic.
