About this fund

Power the clean energy transition

This fund gives investors access to the companies leading the way in the global clean energy transition. Some of these companies are directly involved with clean energy production, and others manufacture technology and infrastructure to drive this production.

Investing in this fund grants access to a passive investment focussed on a sustainable thematic sector.

Sector exposure

This ETF focuses on companies primarily involved in clean energy production and infrastructure. These companies operate across a range of sectors — most notably: utilities, technology and industrials. 

Companies are weighted in the index using a market-cap weighted system. In simple terms, larger companies with more publicly traded shares, get a bigger share. Alongside this, companies need to meet eligibility criteria set by BlackRock to be deemed suitable for this Clean Energy ETF.

Thematic

This is primarily a thematic fund, as it targets a specific investment theme. It does track an index, making it a passively managed fund, but its index is rule-based, rather than tracking a specific section of the market (like the S&P 500).

Thematic investments don’t tend to give broad market exposure on their own, so should form part of a diverse portfolio.
