    Investing In Clean Energy Index Funds

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 05:16 PM PDT

    I made a small little post over at the r/stocks subreddit, this will be more in-depth. I hope this post helps people who are interested in Clean Energy Index Funds. I know there are specific ETFs such as TAN and FAN, but for this post, I will only focus on the main Index Funds.

    One note to address before we go in is that these funds are non-diversified: when you invest in these funds, you are SOLELY investing in Clean Energy. Do not confuse this with global diversification, these funds are very focused investments

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    The ETFs

    iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) - This one seems to be the most popular. It has the lowest ER out of the three standing at 0.46% and it's globally diversified. ICLN contains about 30 holdings, the top 10 holdings account for about 55%. This fund is 40% American and 60% Global. The top 3 countries as of now are the US, China, and New Zealand. Basic preliminary knowledge of each country's economic/political situation can be helpful. This fund contains a ton of CORE Renewable Stock (Biofuels, Ethanol, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Solar, Wind) but it's devoid of Tech Built On Renewables such as EVs — which seem to be the talk of the town nowadays. This fund follows the S&P Global Clean Energy Index and it's Market-Cap Weighted. Overall, this fund focuses on the CORE components of renewable energy.

    First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green ETF (QCLN) - This one is similar to ICLN. This globally diversified fund has the second-lowest ER out of the three standing at 0.60%. If you are interested in American Renewable concentration, this may be a contender for you as QCLN is 80% US weight. The top 3 countries as of now are the US, China, and Canada. This fund follows the NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index which holds 44 stocks, of which their top 10 accounts for 54% of the whole fund. This fund is very similar to ICLN though containing a few differences. ICLN focuses on Core Renewable Energy whereas QCLN focuses on Core Renewable Energy + Tech Built On Renewables. Tech Built On Renewables would consist of technologies such as EVs and Light-Emitting Diodes, supported by companies like TSLA, NIO, and OLED.

    ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES) - This one is a little different. ACES has the highest ER out of the three standing at 0.65%. This fund is NOT globally diversified, with its only focus on Canada (20%) and the US (80%). This fund follows a unique index known as the NACEX Index (which focuses on US/Canadian Clean Energy) and it is Market-Cap Weighted. The top 10 holdings account for about 50%. This ETF is very similar to QLCN (Core Renewable Energy + Tech Built On Renewables) minus the Global Diversification. Ultimately, this fund is a North American focused Renewable Energy Index Fund.

    Fact Sheets

    What I provided is very brief. If you're serious about clean energy, I highly recommend you read each Index Funds fact sheet along with the prospectuses. This will educate you on the field more and provide more crucial data for each fund.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    The main difference between each of these funds really comes down to the underlying holdings, sector allocations, and global diversification. Analyze your Risk Tolerance and Circle Of Competence in terms of holding/sector/globality for each fund before making a decision.

    Disclaimer: I am NOT a financial expert. You MUST do your own diligence -- this is ONLY for educational purposes.

    Also sorry for leaving Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW) out. If anyone wants to comment some information on that Index Fund down below, feel free.

    How do people find an undervalue stock that rises astonishingly a short time after?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 07:33 PM PDT

    I've always wondered how people do this, especially with HTZ last week. How do so many people know that they should invest in this certain stock. Do they use screeners? Do they look at P/E Ratios under 1 and their financials and then buy? Any answers or tips would be appreciated.

    Stock Gains/Investing

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 06:34 AM PDT

    Is it true that it's not necessarily about how many shares you buy but, 1). The amount you invest 2). Percent change on that stock price.

    Just a quick, simple question. Not looking for an asshole answer. Thanks

    Is there any long term downside of holding a leveraged fund?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 02:07 PM PDT

    I am looking specifically at TQQQ. I am aware that upside and downside are magnified when using leveraged instruments. However, if one were to invest in this without any margin, the ticker should ultimately trend up with the markets year over year in the medium and long term. One could make a multiplied gain over the traditional index funds using this ticker, correct? Please let me know if there are any angles that I am not seeing here, thank you in advance!

    EDIT: I am aware of the fees associated with managing these funds. Also, I do not intend to currently buy in as we are at the top of the 52 week average and have an election right around the corner.

    Question about diversifying a portfolio.

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 08:25 AM PDT

    I have grown my portfolio from $1900 to $4100 over the past three months, mostly due to a large zoom purchase in late august. I am starting to sell my positions in zoom as I am doubtful of its growth rate continuing as it has so far. I considered buying an EV ETF but I was wondering if buying small amounts of a broad spectrum of stocks I pick will perform better. More generally I am curious as to your plans for your portfolio currently and what you think is the best way to handle the possibilities that the election has from the stock market.

    I want to begin investing in the stock market.

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 01:39 PM PDT

    Hi there! I'm in a position where I have some savings, and almost no expenses for the foreseeable future. I want to invest those savings in the stock market to hopefully make a profit. How does someone entirely new to this go about that? Where is it best to read and learn about this? Where do I begin, and what can I expect?

    USD currency suggestions

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 11:03 AM PDT

    I see Goldman is predicting a Biden win and are saying this will contribute to the USD falling.

    I'm all cash until after the election but, I was thinking about moving at least some cash into other currencies like Euro and CDN, but, I'm not a big FOREX follower so what's the best currency or way to offset agains USD falling?

    Is the USD falling over the remainder of '20 the current conventional wisdom?

    What will happen to Robinhood? And what effect on the market?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 10:36 PM PDT

    I keep hearing about so many people investing through the Robinhood app that don't know a single thing about fundamental or technical analysis. Some don't even know the absolute basics of what a stock is. Keep reading about how Robinhood sells data to hedgefunds, how they are propping up certain stocks, etc. What's your guess as to how this all ends or is it just a new part of the stock market. Will Robinhood be a thing in 2 years? Does the potential of the SEC cracking down on it pose a huge threat to the markets. Super curious on thoughts....
