Stark differences revealed under the bonnet of clean energy ETFs
August 30, 2022--An analysis of the offerings the funds provide show how important it is to look beyond the name
The invasion of Ukraine, surging oil prices and devastating evidence of climate change are likely to have helped contribute to the sustained demand for clean energy funds this year, even as broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) portfolios have seen their popularity ebb amid the wider sell-off in growth stocks.
That is despite some mixed short-term performance: most of the broad clean energy funds discussed in this piece are slightly down or flat for the year to August 11 if we look at local currency returns, although the strength of the US dollar has translated into some big gains for sterling investors in many cases. It is only the Invesco Global Clean Energy Ucits ETF (GCLX) that is still notably down over the period in sterling terms.
