Investors can easily invest in the Cleantech Index
Any investor with a brokerage account can invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the Cleantech Index®. These ETFs can be traded just like stocks, are tax-efficient and have very reasonable management fees (vs. mutual funds). They are:
EXCHANGE TRADED FUND:
PowerShares Cleantech Portfolio Exchange Traded Fund - (Ticker: PZD)
Traded since October of 2006, PZD tracks the Cleantech Index (CTIUS) and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). PZD provides investors with the only easy-to-access, low-cost, and liquid means to invest in a broad range of leading cleantech companies across the various cleantech sub-sectors. Options on PZD are also available.
ISRAELI CLEANTECH INDEX CERTIFICATE:
KSM Cleantech Index Certificate - (KSMCLNT)
The first investment product based on CTIUS, KSM Cleantech Index Certificate was launched on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on June 6, 2006, by KSM Financial Instruments. Similar to an ETF, the certificate enables Israeli investors to invest and continuously trade the CTIUS Index locally in real time, with an option to convert the certificate to the underlying Index assets on a daily basis.
