Carbon Credit & Climate Finance
End-to-End Underwriting for Nature-Based and Engineered Carbon Credits
FG Capital Advisors maintains executed forward-flow agreements and a discretionary capital base exceeding $2 billion. We finance qualified carbon-credit portfolios and high-integrity climate projects by providing rapid structuring, underwriting, and investor syndication.
Engagement begins at a minimum projected credit revenue of $10 million. A $50 000 retainer initiates our six-phase process; the amount is fully credited against a 3 % success fee payable at contract execution. All modelling references live Xpansiv and CME curves, current policy spreads, and verified project baselines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you finance nature-based credits?
Yes—provided permanence is at least 40 years and verifier reports confirm leakage controls.
Typical funding timeline?
Standard portfolios close within 45–60 days from mandate execution.
Spot transactions versus multi-year strips?
We prioritise three- to seven-year strips to secure pricing visibility; spot blocks are arranged where immediate liquidity is the primary objective.
