Shenzhen, China-based broker-dealer, Fox Capital Partners, has published a report that defends the viability of sustainable and alternative energy IPOs in a low oil price environment. In the report, available on its website, the firm which is aggressively pursuing alternative energy innovators to take public reiterates its view that, while consumers generally take a short-term view on energy matters, climate change and the environment still figure in the minds of policymakers, particularly those in China.

China has made a firm commitment to tackle its pollution problem and while coal still forms the mainstay of its electricity generating capacity and it is still the world’s largest importer of crude oil after the United States, the fact that the country’s economic success has come at the expense of air quality means policymakers are keen to stand behind programs that can reduce such damage in the future.

“If the Chinese government stands behind alternative energy, you can be sure that investors will join them,” explained Ollie Seigler, head of energy research at Fox Capital Partners. “Low oil prices will not continue into perpetuity. At some point, OPEC will achieve its goal of increasing market share at the expense of the shale oil producers in the US and, at that time, oil prices will begin to rise again.”

Fox Capital Partners has been locked in negotiations with principals and investors at an alternative energy company with a view to launching an IPO once the country’s securities regulator gives the greenlight to the resumption of new IPOs on the two main stock indexes.
