In a landmark development for the African mining and finance sectors, Orpheus Capital has launched an innovative carbon credit AMC (Actively Managed Certificate) designed to offer institutional investors listed, liquid exposure to investment-grade carbon assets—a fast- emerging asset class critical to the global energy transition.
Developed in partnership with the Carbon Capital Corporation (CCC) and hosted via a Swiss securitization platform, this AMC provides a secure and transparent investment route into high-quality carbon credits—backed by cutting edge block chain settlement infrastructure and aligned to institutional ESG mandates.
At its core, the product gives asset managers, mining firms, governments, and family offices the opportunity to hedge against the rising cost of carbon offsets, while supporting the development of climate-positive projects across emerging markets—particulary in Africa and the Global South.
“Carbon credits are increasingly essential to achieving climate goals,” said Professor Lisa Wilson, Global Head of Strategic Partnerships at CCC. “This AMC provides a financial instrument that enables capital to flow directly into credible, verifiable emissions-reduction projects—without exposing investors to direct project risk.”
