Advanced Global Trading is another company headquarted in Dubai and offices in multiple location through out the globe that offer an affiliate program. Although they call it the Advanced Global Trading privilege program, the terms & conditions are somewhat simple. Get in 1 client to open an account with AGT and earn $500 or win some other prizes and giveaways that Advanced global trading offers like an Apple iPad 3, Apple Macbook pro, weekend getaways just to name a few.

Advanced Global Trading sells emissions trading permits to its members of the public as an alternative investment. The company’s sales consultants call people and attempt to persuade them to invest. “For a minimum investment of $25K you too can invest in Carbon and make a difference,” the company states on its website.

Advanced Global Trading was established in 2010. The company’s headquarters is in Dubai. AGT employs 100 people and “is on track to achieve its goal of 7 offices worldwide by the end of 2015″. In addition to selling voluntary carbon credits, the company is the Lotus Formula 1 Team official CO2 neutral partner.

In an interview in September 2011, Charles Stephenson explained why he likes to invest in emissions trading permits: “The potential to make money in this commodity is huge and I practice what I preach. It’s a commodity that never goes down and the market is set to double or even quadruple. It’s also an added bonus that I know investing in carbon credits goes some way to help the environment along the way.”

Advanced global trading calls its voluntary carbon credits ETPs, or “Emmissions Trading Permits”.

So what is an Emissions Trading Permit: ETP's are certificates are given to organisations around the world that either create projects to clean up the environment – measured by the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) they reduce in the atmosphere – or clean up their own organisation, reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.

For each tonne of carbon dioxide (the major GHG) emission, the entity receives a emission trading permit (ETP), which they can sell either immediately or through a futures market, just like any other commodity. AGT describes two ETP markets: compliance and verified. In fact, AGT only sells VERs – voluntary carbon credits.

Advanced Global Trading said that people who have invested in voluntary carbon credits through AGT are delighted with the results: And investors who have purchased ETPs over the past few years have certainly been smiling about their returns, with a recent report from the World Bank showing the market is up 11 per cent already on 2012.

Holders of ETPs last year saw their investment increase in value by 30.2 per cent in 2011, with 2010’s investors making over 22 per cent; and with companies and governments continuing to turn to emissions trading as a tool for fighting climate change, demand continues to outstrip demand. Demand outstrips demand.

Last year, AGT stated that carbon was a better investment than gold. AGT head of investments, said, “Gold as a commodity is very, very similar to carbon as a commodity. They are also both tradable commodities, which is important to know. The only real difference is that gold itself is exchange traded, so it’s affected by economies of the world, natural disasters, wars, for example. The beauty of the carbon market is that it is only driven by supply and demand. OK? And this is why the market has risen 960,000% since its inception in 2005. The World Bank puts that a record level of US$176 billion. And this is why carbon is now known as the new safe haven…. Over the last 12 months, carbon has seen a return of over 22%. Over the last 18 months a phenomenal 41%. We can comfortably predict that the price will increase by a further 15 to 20% by the end of the year.”

AGT offers a way of selling them, via its “Trading Platform”. Using this, AGT’s clients can see AGT’s current price and can buy and sell voluntary carbon credits 24 hours a day. AGT even offers an iPhone APP:
