    Green investment in its current form here in the UK seems to involve a lot of risk without the compensatory rewards. Lack of funding, and some woefully poor execution, has left the junior market littered with failures.

    So much so that investors have become rather jaded and cynical about the sector. Going against type is Greencoat UK Wind, which is preparing to list next month.

    Britain’s first ever green infrastructure fund, it has been set up as a yield play with the funding and development risk removed.

    In that context, it is a unique vehicle rather than the latest iteration of unsatisfactory green investment attempts of the past.

    Its IPO is expected to raise at least £205million, which will bankroll the acquisition of six established wind farms (five onshore, one offshore) from Scottish and Southern Energy and the German giant RWE.

    The average price for the onshore assets is £1.8million per mega watt – the market rate for deals in this sector.

This enables children, young people, adults and/or those important to them to feel loved and supported greatly increasing their future growth.

    When it comes to children, finance and work parent’s views can differ, arguments and conflict may follow. These differing views can often divide a family and may be exacerbated by the behaviour of the siblings involved. This is where MBA can provide a space for open discussion and agreement of ways forward.

    When all is going well with our child’s development we are happy to appreciate the differences we bring to parenting but when problems arise it is not so easy to remain open minded to these perspectives. Issues such as body image, self harm and substance abuse are complicated and can leave families desperate and fearful.

    An MBA consultant will help you to listen and understand all sides and perspectives within the family unit and guide you towards the best and healthiest solutions for the family as a whole. By com...
