MINNEAPOLIS, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CarVal Investors, an established global alternative investment manager, today announced the final close of CVI Clean Energy Fund (CEF or "the Fund") with $490 million in total capital commitments. The Fund, which exceeded its initial target size of $250 million, is focused on credit and hard-asset investments in the clean energy sector, primarily in North America.

We believe the timing of CEF is opportune as we are seeing exponential growth in this sector with a deep pipeline of interesting opportunities."

CarVal Investors has invested over $2 billion in clean energy since 2017, making this a significant and successful part of CarVal's business. We have a dedicated team working to build a large and diverse portfolio of investments that are not only profitable but benefit our environment."
