Our read on CTEX
DA tight, roughly 30-stock global basket of companies building clean energy technology, tracking S&P's Kensho Cleantech index. The fee sits mid-pack for the category; the portfolio is far more concentrated than the household names.
The Fund seeks pre-fee and pre-expense results that track the S&P Kensho Cleantech Index. It invests in financial instruments intended to reproduce the Index’s exposure to companies developing technologies and products that generate clean energy.
Why people hold it
- About 30 holdings, global reach: the pure-play take on clean energy, aimed at companies developing the technologies and products that generate clean power.
- 0.58% a year lands right at the clean energy category median and just under FAN's 0.61%.
- Rules-based index tracking in a plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper, running since 2021. No manager hunches, no exotic structure.
Worth knowing
- Roughly 30 names means single stocks swing the fund. The broader clean energy funds spread that risk across many more positions.
- One of the smaller and thinner-traded funds in the clean energy aisle, so spreads tend to be wider than in the category's biggest names.
- Diversified rivals ICLN and FRNW charge 0.39%, so the concentrated Kensho build costs more than broad exposure.
