[23] In 2019, the infrastructure arm of Daiwa Securities,[24] a Japanese investment bank and the country’s the second-largest brokerage firm, acquired a 40 % stake in Aquila Capital which marked the company’s commitment to further expand its global presence.

An advisory board of well-known industry experts supports the management; members are Hans Joachim Schellnhuber and Klaus Naumann, for example.

The current operative portfolio avoids around 1.2 million tonnes of greenhouse gases annually, which equals to the emissions of approximately 70,000 European households.
