Playing Renewable Energy With ETF’S (FAN, KWT, NLR, GEX)

David Bettencourt — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 16:46:40 +0000

China, second only to the United States in terms of power consumption, announced this week that it will spend about 100 billion yuan ($14..6 billion) to more than double its wind power capacity by 2010 over last year. More than 200 billion yuan was allocated to energy saving and carbon reducing projects under China’s stimulus plans.

That investment will take the country’s wind power capacity to 30,000 megawatts from the current 12,000 megawatts, according to the country’s deputy director of renewable energy. Further, China expects its investment in alternative and renewable energy sources to exceed 2 trillion yuan by 2020. (...)

Not All Alternative Energy ETFs Were Created Alike

David Bettencourt — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:59:09 +0000

A few months ago, I conducted analyses of the wind and solar power ETFs. I’ve recently turned my attention to the general alternative energy ETFs, or those that span several sectors.

The Global ETFs are the iShares S&P Global Clean Energy Index ETF (ICLN), the PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio (PBD) and the Van Eck Global Alternative Energy Fund (GEX). (...)

Investors see bright future in wind energy ETF

David Bettencourt — Sun, 03 May 2009 13:38:52 +0000

Because many wind energy companies are foreign-based there are always geopolitical and currency risks to weigh. Investors also will want to be wary of emerging companies with unproven ideas. At a minimum, you’ll want to be sure that the company is well capitalized and has a strong business model.

When investing in a fund, such as an exchange traded fund, Siegel of Green Chip Stocks recommends making sure it is balanced. Some funds are very sector specific, focusing on solar stocks, for example. If something were to happen to impact that industry such as a shortage of the electronic components that convert sunlight to electricity, your entire fund could crash. There are funds such as Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy ETF Trust (GEX), which includes wind, solar, geothermal and other business types.

As you look for investment opportunities, be aware that the global economic slump began hitting the renewable energy sector hard late last year and it’s continued into the first quarter.
