Products – Wind Energy Index

How To Invest In Wind Energy (WNX):

An investor cannot directly buy an index. There are commonly, however, index-tracking funds available to ‘buy’ an index by closely matching index performance.

IN EUROPE:

In Europe an independent Fund, the Invesco Wind Energy UCITS ETF, symbol WNDE (listed on various Exchanges) seeks to mirror the performance of the WNX. Investors in Europe wishing to trade the global wind energy sector as defined by the WilderHill Wind Energy Index (WNX) can contact their Broker or Invesco directly. An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) helpfully calculates intra-day. Generally speaking ETFs can carry characteristics of intra-day trading and transparency.
