Our read on EVX

ETF.net Research

CTrash is a business, and EVX has been the way to own it since 2006: waste haulers, recyclers, wastewater outfits and environmental consultants, bundled into a compact global portfolio of roughly two dozen names.

Stated mandate

EVX seeks to track the MarketVector Global Environmental Services Index, which covers companies primarily engaged in environmental consulting, wastewater and drainage, waste management, remediation and protection, non-industrial air filtration, and carbon-capture, waste-to-energy, and biofuel technologies.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Running since 2006, long before 'green' became an ETF marketing category. That's a real track record across multiple market cycles in a niche where most rivals arrived a decade later.
  2. 02The mandate is specific, not vibes-based: the MarketVector Global Environmental Services Index covers waste management, wastewater and drainage, remediation, air filtration, waste-to-energy and biofuels.
  3. 03At 0.55% a year, the fee lands right at the median for its infrastructure-theme peer group. You pay category rates for a far narrower slice of the market.
  4. 04Ranks in the upper half of its infrastructure-theme cohort on our review, with no structural red flags in the fund's setup.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Roughly two dozen holdings means concentration. A stumble at one or two big waste haulers shows up in the fund, with little else to cushion it.
  2. 02Thinly traded and mid-sized in assets, so bid-ask spreads can be wider than at the giant infrastructure funds, especially in fast markets.
  3. 03Broad infrastructure alternatives cost less: IFRA at 0.30% and IGF at 0.37%. They're wider nets, though, not a pure environmental services play.
