The fund is the first blind pool for US project developments to be offered by US Treuhand. The company is following a recent German trend for blind pools investing in American projects. Other German companies which have recently offered American blind pools include the Hamburg-based firms MPC Capital and HCI Capital, and the Cologne-based Jamestown.
