This is basically a tracker for low carbon US stocks. The long term returns look decent, but the article does not explain the specific carbon metrics they use to filter the equities.
That is the problem with these ESG funds. They often use vague filters. Without knowing if they track absolute emissions or intensity, it is hard to tell if this actually drives decarbonization or just avoids the worst offenders.
The financial projections are fine, but I wonder how much of this fund is actually in companies building hardware for the transition versus just software companies with low footprints. Big difference in real world impact.
Exactly. If it is just tech stocks, it is not a low carbon strategy, it is just a tech fund with a green label.
