The reduced carbon target index is a decent way to filter for stability, but I want to see the actual carbon intensity thresholds. Without knowing the specific exclusion criteria, it is hard to tell if this is real decarbonization or just a light ESG filter.
Exactly. Most of these low volatility funds just end up holding big consumer staples that have low emissions by default. It is not the same as investing in companies actually deploying new green tech.
The volume spike from 2 shares to 1,500 is technically a huge percentage increase, but in absolute terms, it is still tiny. Calling this institutional accumulation based on 1,500 shares seems like a stretch.
