This year, US Capital Global Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer affiliate of US Capital Global, was engaged by RE Capital Partners USA LLC (“Royal Eagle”) to distribute its $100 million income fund dedicated to social and environmental impact investments in Latin America and the United States. The US Capital Royal Eagle Green Energy Income Fund (the “Fund”) has recently been awarded the highest sustainability rating of “Dark Green” by a leading global independent green bonds rating agency.
Headquartered in San Francisco, US Capital Global is a full-service private financial group with an established track record in investment banking, asset management, and capital formation services. All securities are offered by the group through its FINRA-member, SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliate, US Capital Global Securities LLC.
“We are immensely pleased to hear that our US Capital Royal Eagle Green Energy Income Fund has been awarded the highest sustainability rating by a leading independent agency,” said Alejandro Mendez, CEO at Royal Eagle. “We are committed to providing Latin America with sustainable energy sources and we pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to provide access to capital and build infrastructure in an undervalued and expanding market.”
Mark Valdez, CIO at Royal Eagle added, “Our existing wind, hydro, and solar energy projects in North, Central, and South America are dedicated to building economic growth in a clean, sustainable manner that will benefit ecosystems and communities for generations to come.”
“At US Capital Global, we believe very strongly in supporting enterprises that create meaningful positive impact,” said Charles Towle, CEO at US Capital Global Securities. “As global awareness of climate issues and the value of ESG and impact investing continues to grow, so do instances of greenwashing among some businesses. This has led to the SEC cracking down on projects falsely claiming a ‘green’ status. So far, the SEC’s focus has been on publicly traded companies. Following in the SEC’s footsteps, US Capital Global is leading the way in independent and reliable third-party green verification for the private markets, as exemplified by this recent ‘Dark Green’ rating.
“Royal Eagle’s rating of ‘Dark Green’ was granted by a multi-award-winning third-party green rating agency that provides independent, research-based evaluations of green bond investment frameworks and impact reports to determine their environmental robustness. The agency’s second opinions of ‘Dark Green,’ ‘Medium Green,’ and ‘Light Green’ offer our investors better insight into the environmental quality of green bonds, allowing investors to support genuine ESG enterprises and avoid greenwashed businesses. We are extremely proud to be supporting Royal Eagle, and the opportunity to participate in its $100 million promissory note offering is now open to eligible investors.”
