Abstract
This paper examines economic development and the environment within a market-based approach through financial instruments that incorporate a considerable array of risks. It investigates how financial markets combine finance and sustainable development by analyzing investment funds participating in tropical forest plantations. thjese funds project high expected returns and carry huge financial risks, especially country reisk, price risk, and credit risk. Environmental and developmental risks do not appear to be very large, as most plantations are established on former farmland and as the quantitative impact of the plantations seems limited.
