Our read on UPGR
CClean energy, but wider. UPGR tracks a US-only index that reaches past solar panels into green mobility, green fuel and pollution control, and it charges less than every top-ranked fund in its peer group.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Solactive United States Green Infrastructure ESG Screened Index. It generally invests at least 80% of its assets in the index's component securities and at least 80% of net assets plus investment borrowings in equity securities of U.S. green-infrastructure companies.
Why people hold it
- 0.35% a year, well under the roughly 0.59% typical for clean-energy ETFs and below peer leaders ICLN and FRNW at 0.39%.
- Wider net than solar and wind: the index spans green mobility, green fuel, green wholesale power, environmental services and pollution control.etf.dws.com
- US-only by design, while category heavyweights like ICLN and FAN run global books.
- Straightforward mechanics: passive indexing, roughly 50 names, at least 80% of assets in the index's own components.
Worth knowing
- Small asset base and thin trading, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads. Small funds also face a higher chance of being closed or merged away.
- One theme, one country. The issuer's own materials note results depend greatly on the condition of the green energy sector, and roughly 50 names concentrates that bet.etf.dws.com
- The ESG screen is Solactive's definition of green, not yours, and a 2023 launch leaves a short record to judge.
