We use A.I. to Target Environmental Commodities
Our Fund uses a highly sophisticated, proprietary Artificial Intelligence system that is capable of identifying undervalued assets within the carbon credit market in real time by synthesizing thousands of data points and inputs simultaneously without the need for a break.
Agents with Immense Industry Knowledge
We developed numerous A.I. Agents that work together to discover valuable anomalies
Our proprietary A.I. Agents were hand crafted by our team so that each would be highly focused on specific tasks within the commodities market while working together as a group to achieve the same core goal.- identifying undervalued carbon credit assets within the environmental commodities market while following the biggest players moves in real time.
Carbon credit issuance, purchase, transfer, sales and retirement data is all currently open source and available for our A.I. Agents to extract / synthesize in order to uncover valuable anomalies within industry. Our Agents are trained with hundreds of years of commodities market knowledge, with a few of our Agents being modeled directly after some of the most prolific traders in the world.
Under the hood - our Agents work synergistically together, presenting facts and information back and forth 24/7 on our secure network until they have 'discovered something' worth note that meets our Fund's requirements. The A.I. Managing Agent then compiles the findings and presents them to the team for us to review.
Environmental Commodities
Carbon Assets are viewed as Environmental Commodities
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have said that carbon credits are “environmental commodities” which means that they are not derivatives and they are not securities. As a result, neither the CFTC nor the SEC has issued rules around the trading of carbon credits in the voluntary markets.
Environmental commodity markets have emerged as pivotal tools in addressing pressing environmental challenges, such as climate change and resource depletion. These markets employ market-based mechanisms to incentivize the efficient allocation of environmental resources and promote sustainable practices.
Two Sides to the Carbon Offset Market
Compliance Carbon Market
Compliance Carbon Market
Compliance Carbon Market
Compliance markets are mandatory systems that require emission sources to meet emission targets. Most compliance markets are cap-and-trade or similar systems, wherein an upper limit is set on a business’s emissions and further capacity may be bought from other organizations that have not used their full allowance or, in some systems, through carbon offsets.
Voluntary Carbon Market
Compliance Carbon Market
Compliance Carbon Market
Companies that wish to voluntarily offset their GHG emissions can purchase avoidance credits (for projects that avoid or reduce emissions) or removal credits (for projects that lower existing emissions) in the voluntary carbon markets. The voluntary carbon market allows companies, non-profits and governments the ability to buy and sell carbon credits
Our Focus - The Voluntary Carbon Market
Nature-Enabled Removal
Nature-Enabled Avoidance
Nature-Enabled Avoidance
Removal projects contribute to offsetting emissions by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, thereby reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases.
Nature-Enabled Avoidance
Nature-Enabled Avoidance
Nature-Enabled Avoidance
Avoidance carbon credits, also known as emission reduction credits, focus on preventing or reducing greenhouse gas emissions that would have otherwise occurred.
Sustainable Development
Nature-Enabled Avoidance
Long Term Carbon Removal
SD VISta aims to facilitate large-scale investment in sustainable development by providing developers and investors with reliable data on the social and environmental benefits of their projects.
Long Term Carbon Removal
Changing Methods and Mindsets
Long Term Carbon Removal
These credits support projects that actively remove carbon dioxide, such as afforestation, reforestation.
Changing Methods and Mindsets
Changing Methods and Mindsets
Changing Methods and Mindsets
This type of credit supports projects and initiatives that implement strategies to avoid or reduce carbon emissions.
Benefiting Nature and People

SD VISta also allows projects to link their social and environmental impacts to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Buying Offsets with Community Benefits
TIST Nature-Enabled Carbon Removal Projects like those in Kenya create a great deal tertiary benefits for the surrounding community
The addition of community benefits in combination with the continued tracking by the project participants creates higher valued carbon credits
Afforestation = Planting Trees
Planting new trees is a surefire way to guarantee project additionality and thus guarentee that the credits are truly offsetting carbon.
Tracking Growth = True Carbon Offset
Measuring the trees gives the local community additonal wages and helps verify the amount of carbon offset the project is putting out
Nature Based Avoidance that Counts
Proving Additionality to Counter Greenwashing
Recent issues surrounding "greenwashing" in the nature based avoidance market have increased scrutiny into this style of project. We strategically focus on nature based avoidance that can prove additionality - meaning that the carbon being sequestered would not have occured if the project did not exist - giving the credits long term value as an offset asset.
Creating Climate, Community and Biodiversity Benefits
The CCB Standards represent assurance that a given project is delivering tangible climate, community, and biodiversity benefits. They can be applied to any land management project, including afforestation, sustainable agriculture, and grassland management
Undervalued Offsets with Huge Upside Potential
Targeting REDD+ projects that have CCB-labeled credits which also meet sustainable development goals (SDGs) builds intrinsic value into the carbon assets.
Sustainable Development Projects
Projects that meet sustainable development goals (SDGs) add valuable labels to carbon credits we hol
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015 – are an ambitious set of 17 overarching global goals to combat poverty and achieve sustainable development by 2030.
Covering topics from gender equality to climate change, and education to clean drinking water, they represent a powerful opportunity to improve the lives of the 1.3 billion small scale farmers and agricultural workers upon whom the world depends to produce our food and protect our planet.
These SDG labels add a tertiary positive value increase to the carbon assets by allowing buyers to do more good with each credit they purchase and retire. The Carbon Credit Fund strategically invests in projects that meet Sustainable Development Goals since the additional labels add layers of validation behind each credit, increasing the stability of their long term value through accreditation scrutiny.
