First Mover Fund vs. U.S. stocks

Achieve exponential growth and global impact with the First Mover Fund. Why choose the volatility of stocks when a fund  offers high returns, lower risks, and measurable environmental benefits?

 

Higher returns, lower volatility

The First Mover Fund outperforms U.S. stocks in both growth and stability:

U.S. STOCKS

Average returns of 7–10% annually, but highly volatile and tied to corporate earnings and market sentiment.

FIRST MOVER FUND

Projected double-digit returns annually, driven by growing global demand for land restoration and regulatory policies.

*Investment involves risk. Projected returns are not guaranteed, and actual results may vary. The First Mover Fund's projected double-digit returns include annual distributions of 8%.

A booming market opportunity

The environmental commodities market offers exponential growth. The U.S. stock market, while mature and steady, lacks the exponential growth potential of an emerging market like land restoration.

2025 - Now

Projected $695 billion market size, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.4%

2030 - 5 years time

Expected to exceed $4 trillion, driven by climate policies and corporate ESG commitments.
