“Throughout the world there is an energy revolution occurring that is driving public and private investments into the alternative energy arena,” said Duffy, CEO of GFX Group.    “Investments in alternative energy solutions are aimed at achieving energy independence while reducing environmental damages.”

“Increased spending in alternative energies and renewable resources will cause significant economic growth and prosperity for the companies embracing this change, yet very few asset management companies exist to explore, develop and profit from this phenomenon,” said Anric Blatt, chairman of GFX.

GFX Alternatives will being accepting outside investors at the end of the first quarter, and aims to cap assets in the new strategy at $1 billion.
