Anyone looking at these? My understanding is that the fund issues new units each week and backs them by actually purchasing carbon units on the open market. So the CO2 roughly reflects the spot Carbon price in NZ (approx $48 at the moment). Seems to me that a 40%+ increase is almost guaranteed within the next 6-9 months.... (or maybe I've misunderstood everything..)
