In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Rene Reyna, Head of Thematic & Special Product Strategies at Invesco, about clean energy ETFs.
The Invesco Solar ETF (TAN - Free Report) was the best performing ETF of 2020, up more than 230%, and the Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW - Free Report) gained more than 200%. These ETFs had done very well in 2019 as well, after many years of underperformance.
The cost of renewable energy generation has been falling in recent years with continued technological innovation, and that has started changing the competitive balance between clean and traditional energy.
Policy support also helped green energy. Clean energy investment is now expected to account for half of total investment in the entire energy sector globally, according to UBS.
President Biden has pledged to accelerate the shift to clean energy and rejoined the Paris Agreement on his first day in office. Investors have been pouring money into these stocks and ETFs since Democrats gained control of both the White House and Congress.
TAN is the only pure-play solar ETF. About 47% of its portfolio is invested in US companies.
PBW holds companies involved in renewable energy generation or conservation, in almost equal weights. Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) , Nio (NIO - Free Report) and Lithium Americas (LAC - Free Report) are among the top holdings.
The Invesco Global Clean Energy ETF (PBD - Free Report) invests in global renewable energy companies, which are equally weighted in tiers. US companies account for about 28% of the portfolio.
