INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 
 
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
Performance during the period 
 
During the first half of the Company's financial year the Company generated a 
small loss of 3.5 pence per share, which is equivalent to a 4.2% decline in the 
Net Asset Value ("NAV") over the period.  The drop in the NAV was primarily due 
to market volatility and variable investor sentiment during the period. 
Regrettably there was a diminution in the market value of each share, which 
fell by 19.5% over the period at the end of which the share price stood at a 
22.9% discount to the NAV per share. 
 
Over the same period the MSCI World Total Return Index (in sterling), rose by 
11.0%.  By way of additional comparison, the WilderHill New Energy Global 
Innovation Index (in sterling) rose by 2.6% and the AIC Environmental Sector 
fell by 4.9%.  The Board is very conscious of the level of the share price 
discount to NAV per share and is keeping the situation under close review. 
 
Analysis and more recent performance 
 
Despite the decline during the first six months of the year, the Company's NAV 
per share increased by 6.4% between May and June, and a further 4.9% from the 
end of the period to 31 August 2016, being the latest practicable date before 
the publication of this report, reversing the loss in the first half of this 
year.  This recent improvement includes the early effects of the UK's 
referendum vote to leave the European Union, announced one week prior to the 
end of the period.  The portfolio has also benefited from positive 
contributions during the period from companies such as Praxair, A.O. Smith and 
Rockwell Automations, and lessons learnt. Our portfolio managers have provided 
a comprehensive analysis of all the factors contributing to the Company's 
performance during the period later in this report (pages 7 to 9). 
 
Outlook 
 
Despite a challenging start to the year, our portfolio managers firmly believe 
that the long-term prospects for companies delivering or benefiting from the 
efficient use of energy and resources are good.  The Board has been encouraged 
by recent improvements in the Company's NAV per share and believes that the 
premise on which the Company was launched and its underlying investment 
strategy remain valid. 
 
Dividend 
 
The Board's policy is to pay dividends as required to maintain UK investment 
trust status. No interim dividend will be declared for this period.  In line 
with the prospectus, the Company's aim is to target an annual dividend yield of 
2% of the average NAV.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT 
 
Portfolio update 
 
During the first half of 2016, the Company's NAV per share decreased from 83.9p 
to 80.4p. This represents a decline of 4.2% for the period. However, since the 
end of the period the NAV per share has increased to 84.4p as at 31 August 2016 
(being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this report). 
 
For the same period the MSCI World Total Return Index (in sterling) returned 
11.0%. The performance of the index in sterling was largely driven by the 
depreciation in sterling after the EU referendum in the UK. The same index in 
US dollars returned 1.0%. 
 
The Company's share price traded at a 23.5% discount to NAV per share as at 30 
June 2016. 
 
The contribution to the loss over the period is summarised below:

Listed Equity 
 
The Listed Equity portfolio's contribution to the decline was 1.9% for the 
period. 
 
Renewable Energy 
 
Two of the principal detractors to performance for the period have been in the 
solar sector. 
 
The first, SunEdison, contributed (2.6%) to the decline. While we continue to 
believe in the long-term market opportunity in the development and operation of 
solar and wind assets, the capital consumptive nature of SunEdison's business 
model really required management to execute at a high level. We misjudged the 
capabilities of the management team and, realising this, we decided in February 
to withdraw from that position, and to transfer our exposure to SunEdison's two 
associated yield companies, Terraform Power and Terraform Global. Since then 
SunEdison has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and the two yield companies have 
ring-fenced themselves from their former parent to seek to protect their 
shareholders' interests. 
 
The second, Canadian Solar, which contributed (1.5%), is a vertically 
integrated solar player that both manufactures panels and uses those panels in 
the development of solar assets around the world. Canadian Solar has struggled 
to protect its manufacturing margins as the market for solar panels has become 
commoditised and over-supplied. Moreover, the business has struggled to find 
buyers for its solar assets as the obvious buyers, the publicly traded yield 
companies, have been buffeted by negative market conditions. In April we sold 
our position in the company. 
 
Resource and Energy Efficiency 
 
Our top performing positions in the quoted equity category were all in the 
resource and energy efficiency sector. Praxair, Rockwell Automation and A.O. 
Smith's share prices all benefited from solid financial performance over the 
period and each individually contributed 0.5% to the portfolio. 
 
Sustainable Transport 
 
Since the Volkswagen emissions scandal came to light, the company's share price 
has declined dramatically - mostly in anticipation of the payouts the company 
will have to make, especially in the US. We believe that the market has 
overestimated the scale of the damage to Volkswagen. Sales have held up well 
since the scandal, and in light of the scandal the company's entire 
non-executive and executive management teams have been replaced. Volkswagen, 
one of the world's largest vehicle manufacturers, has the potential to reduce 
costs and improve margins and profitability. We believe that the company's 
management team is now incentivised to step up to this challenge. More 
significantly for us, the new management team has announced ambitious plans to 
become the world's leading electric vehicles manufacturer. We therefore believe 
that Volkswagen represents an enticing recovery play and an attractively valued 
opportunity to gain exposure to the coming electric transportation growth wave. 
 
Before the widespread electrification of transport arrives, however, the world 
continues to rely on the internal combustion engine. We are therefore keen to 
be exposed to the world's leaders in the production of engines that are less 
polluting and more efficient. BorgWarner and Johnson Matthey, currently in the 
Company's portfolio, provide products and technologies that reduce pollution 
and enhance efficiency. 
 
Airbus and its key engines supplier, Safran, are focused on producing engines 
that are significantly more efficient and less polluting, and we have added 
them to the portfolio during the period. Airbus represents an opportunity to 
invest in a global duopoly with very high barriers to entry in a growing 
industry - passenger volumes increase at 5% per year. Importantly, the Airbus 
A320neo delivers a 15% fuel burn saving compared to current single aisle 
aircraft operations, with targets to achieve a 20% reduction in fuel burn and 
CO2 emissions by 2020.  With improving governance, the depreciation of the euro 
and a 10 year backlog we think Airbus will make a good addition to the 
portfolio. Much of the efficiency gains achieved by Airbus can be attributed to 
its supplier, Safran, whose new LEAP engine promises remarkable environmental 
performance including 15% lower fuel consumption and a significant reduction in 
ground noise. Safran also operates in a consolidated market with high barriers 
to entry and we believe the market is undervaluing the significant value in its 
installed fleet. 
 
We believe these additions to the portfolio represent a good way of accessing 
the sustainable transportation theme. 
 
Private Equity 
 
The Private Equity portfolio contribution to the decline was 0.1%. 
 
Alpina Partners marked down the valuation of the WHEB Ventures Private Equity 
Fund 2 portfolio in Q1, and our holding in this fund was therefore a 
significant detractor for the period - costing us 1.9% of NAV. The write-down 
was attributable to a changeover to new private equity valuation guidelines and 
updated forecasts for one of the fund's most significant portfolio companies, 
Green Energy Geothermal (GEG). Revenues are expected to be down this year on 
last year due to contract delays. Nevertheless, the Alpina team assure us of 
GEG's encouraging progress in East Africa and Indonesia. 
 
The effect of this write down was partially offset by an increase in the 
valuation of the Alpina Partners Fund, which contributed 1.6% to NAV, on the 
back of the continued strong performance of advanced materials portfolio 
company, Dolan. 
 
X-Elio, our co-investment with the KKR infrastructure team, generated $32 
million of EBITDA during H1 2016, slightly underperforming forecast due to a 
large engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") project in Egypt being 
delayed. X-Elio's business model has three components: the development of new 
solar assets; EPC for third parties; and the opportunistic acquisition of 
existing operating solar assets around the world. 
 
X-Elio is focused on developing new solar assets in three countries: Japan, 
Mexico and Chile. The first projects in Japan have been completed and the 
company has launched the construction of a new set of projects, while 28 MW are 
under construction in Mexico. In total X-Elio will have 150 MW under 
construction by year end. As of Q2 all of the company's operating assets are in 
good shape and performing well. The appreciation of the dollar has contributed 
1.3% to the portfolio from this position. 
 
Yield Investments 
 
Renewables Yield Investments 
 
The Renewables Yield Investments portfolio's contribution to the decline was 
0.2%. 
 
The Company has a portfolio of four publicly traded yield companies. These 
comprise Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners, Atlantica Yield and the two 
SunEdison affiliated yield companies, Terraform Power and Terraform Global. 
 
The major detractor from here was Terraform Global with a negative contribution 
of 0.9% in the period. Terraform Global is the smallest of the yield companies 
with the greatest exposure to emerging markets. The market has placed little 
value on the portfolio as it goes through the process of disentangling itself 
from SunEdison. However, we continue to believe that the assets are trading 
below replacement value.  Indeed, since 30 June 2016 to 31 August 2016, 
Terraform Global has traded up 13.7%. 
 
Absolute Return & Credit 
 
The Absolute Return & Credit portfolio's contribution to the decline was 1.0%. 
 
With regards to Abengoa, in mid-August a group of creditors including banks and 
bondholders agreed a restructuring proposal with the company. The proposal 
involves a write down of 70% on the old debt and the injection of EUR1.17 billion 
of new money by bondholders and banks. Abengoa claims that the proposal is 
being finalised and that the vote on the proposal should take place soon. The 
deadline is 28 October 2016 and if the agreement is not approved by at least 
75% of financial creditors and ratified by the controlling shareholders by that 
time, the company will face liquidation 
 
New Team Members

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES 
 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company were explained in 
detail within the Prospectus issued in July 2015 and the annual report for the 
period ended 31 December 2015. The Directors are not aware of any new risks or 
uncertainties for the Company and its investors for the period under review and 
moving forward, beyond those stated within the Prospectus and the Annual 
Report. 
 
Related Parties Transactions 
 
During the first six months of the current financial year, no transactions with 
related parties have taken place which have materially affected the financial 
position or the performance of the Company. 
 
Going Concern 
 
The Directors believe, having considered the Company's investment objective, 
risk management policies, capital management policies and procedures, the 
nature of the portfolio and the expenditure projections, that the Company has 
adequate resources, an appropriate financial structure and suitable management 
arrangements in place to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable 
future and, more specifically, that there are no material uncertainties 
pertaining to the Company that would prevent its ability to continue in such 
operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of the approval 
of this half year report. For these reasons, the Directors consider there is 
reasonable evidence to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing 
the accounts. 
 
Directors' Responsibilities Statement 
 
The Board of Directors confirms that, to the best of its knowledge: 
 
(i)      the condensed set of financial statements contained within the half 
year report has been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 
(FRS 102) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, which forms part of the 
revised Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (New UK GAAP) issued by the 
Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in 2012 and 2013; and 
 
(ii)     the interim management report includes a fair review of the 
information required by sections 4.2.7R and 4.2.8R of the UK Listing Authority 
Disclosure and Transparency Rules. 
 
In order to provide these confirmations, and in preparing these financial 
statements, the Directors are required to: 
 
*        select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 
 
*        make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and 
prudent; 
 
*        state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, 
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial 
statements; and 
 
*        prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it 
is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business; 
 
and the Directors confirm that they have done so.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements 
 
1       Financial Statements 
 
The condensed financial statements contained in this interim financial report 
do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in s434 of the Companies Act 
2006. The financial information for the six months to 30 June 2016 has not been 
audited or reviewed by the Company's external auditors. 
 
The information for the period ended 31 December 2015 has been extracted from 
the latest published audited financial statements. Those statutory financial 
statements have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and included the 
report of the auditors, which was unqualified and did not contain a statement 
under Sections 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
2       Accounting policies 
 
These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern 
basis in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial 
Conduct Authority, FRS 104 'Interim Financial Reporting', the Statement of 
Recommended Practice 'Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and 
Venture Capital Trusts' dated November 2014 and using the same accounting 
policies as set out in the Company's Annual Report for the period ended 31 
December 2015. 
 
3       Going concern 
 
After making enquiries, and having reviewed the investments, Statement of 
Financial Position and projected income and expenditure for the next 12 months, 
the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate 
resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The Directors 
have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial 
statements. 
 
4       Principal Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The principal risks facing the Company together with an explanation of these 
risks and how they are managed is contained in the Strategic Report and note 14 
of the Company's Annual Report for the period ended 31 December 2015.
