This thesis concerns alternative investments in equity and energy markets. The first chapter (with Andreas Brøgger) documents that only some investors with skill earn high returns when investing sustainably. In the second chapter, I provide evidence that large wind turbines outperform their smaller peers as they yield higher cash flows per production unit. Finally, chapter three shows that the allocation of private capital to renewable energy projects is largely driven by subsidy structures and very specific risk exposures.
