Cleantech

Cleantech Funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets in companies... Cleantech Funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets in companies involved in the clean technology sector. Cleantech refers to firms and technologies that reduce or eliminate harmful environmental practices or effects in their processes. Cleantech is a sector of rising importance given the challenges posed by climate change and the need to reduce the globe’s dependency on fossil fuels. Cleantech Funds and ETFs tend to have the ability to invest across a wide range of players in the climate technology revolution. This can include companies that produce alternative or ‘green’ energy, companies whose business models include the sale of recycled products, and firms that produce electric vehicles. Biofuels Funds and ETFs can be passively or actively managed, and depending on their mandate, may invest across a wide range of geographies and market capitalizations. Cleantech Funds and ETFs can be considered to be somewhat higher risk than fossil fuel investments, simply because the industry is still in the earlier stages of development and many companies haven’t yet reached profitability or proven their technologies. However, the upside to these firms is potentially quite large given how rapidly society needs to move away from its reliance on fossil fuels. Last Updated: 11/26/2024 View more View less
