E&D Fund Investment Philosophy 1
Waratah Electrification & Decarbonization Fund (“E&D”) is invested in high quality
battery material and related EV and decarbonization investment opportunities. While
the first wave of lithium developer value c reation was substantial, it also came
with enhanced volatility and high risk given the early stages of electrification. As the
second phase of lithium project development occurs, with electrification inflecting to
mainstream for the industry and investors, E&D is positioned to grow equity
participation in lithium development companies and related sector opportunities.
