Jupiter has today published the prospectus for its new environmental investment trust, the Jupiter Green Investment Trust.

 Click here for more information on the Jupiter Green Investment Trust Plc.

The new Trust aims to generate long-term capital growth, investing in a global portfolio of businesses operating in one of six key areas - water management, clean energy, green transport, waste management, sustainable living and environmental services. Environmental issues continue to be prominent on the agenda of both the public and private sector and Jupiter believes this is likely to create attractive investment opportunities for investors.
 
Charlie Thomas, manager of the Jupiter Ecology Fund and the Jupiter Global Green Investment Trust*, will be lead manager of the new Trust, working with Jupiter's SRI research team to select stocks in all regions, except the US. The portfolio of assets allocated by Jupiter for investment in the US and/or Canada will be managed by Boston-based Winslow Management Company, led by Jackson Robinson and Matthew Patsky.
 
Shares in Jupiter Green Investment Trust are available to the general public in the UK through an offer for subscription.  The Trust is also available through Jupiter's Investment Trust ISA and Savings Schemes. 

Shares in the Trust are available to institutional investors through a placing which is being conducted on behalf of the Trust by Arbuthnot Securities Limited.  
 
Shareholders who subscribe for shares in the Trust on launch will also receive one warrant for every five shares subscribed for.  Warrantholders shall have the right to subscribe in cash on 31 July in any of the years 2007 to 2011 for one ordinary share in the Trust  at the price of £1.00 per share payable in full in cash on subscription.
