Amundi MSCI New Energy ESG Screened ETF

Dear community,

after I have often thought about whether I would like to present my portfolio or not, I'll give myself a jolt with the new function and introduce myself briefly:

Who am I?

27 years old, AT. I have been working in development in the semiconductor industry for 3 years, before that I studied at university with holiday jobs and a small part-time job of 8 hours a week. I live with my girlfriend, am addicted to sports and have been addicted to investing for 1 year.

Career portfolio

Due to the (extensive) acquaintance with the co-founder of $MIOTA (-0,74%) I entered the crypto world in 2018 and invested almost €500 (a lot of money as a student at the time) in Iota and other cryptocurrencies. After everything collapsed there (I had -95% in the meantime), I didn't want to know anything more about investing and concentrated on my studies and my life.

With my master's degree and the start of my permanent employment in 2021, the question then arose as to what I would do with my money and I finally ended up investing via various ideas (Amazon dropshipping, startup, etc.). After about 1 month of reading in, my first position was the $LCUW (+0,19%) which I bought at $ASML (-1,59%)
$IFX (-1,35%)
$LIN (+0,54%) and $XMME (-0,32%) expanded it. Over time, more shares were added and by registering on Getquin, the MSCI Word + EM was then shifted to the $VWRL (+0,18%) (thanks to the community :)). Since then, most of the income (savings rate currently 2k/month ~50%) has been invested, $VWRL (+0,18%) and $SPYD (-0,29%) by savings plan + dip purchases, shares always by individual purchases.

Structure

As I come from the technology sector and see where technology is used everywhere, I deliberately have an abundance of technology in my portfolio. Basically, I'm focusing on growth (I'm still young) and core-satellite, with the aim of being able to live well from dividends and withdrawals in my later years and to give my children a good start in life. In addition to the Flatex custody account, there are also a few gambles in the crypto sector, but nothing major. Maybe in 10 years it will help with the house and Lambo

What would I like to change?

Through the community I came across the $SPYD (-0,29%) came to my attention. The good dividends and the good price performance in the past (> $VWRL (+0,18%) ) persuaded me to invest in the ETF as well. In recent weeks, however, I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the ETF's performance, partly because the companies it contains don't quite match my objectives. I will now (after feedback from the community) build up the $EQQQ (+0,07%) as a satellite ETF via a savings plan. The $SPYD (-0,29%) currently remains in place as I expect a tech correction in the near future where the $SPYD (-0,29%) should serve as a support. Whether I keep the Aristocrat or not is still up in the air (outcome of the post was 60% Nasdaq100, 22% SPYD and 18% both), I would be happy to receive feedback here. Also on the watchlist at the moment are $EW (+0,43%) and $CRWD (+2,85%) which, however, is a competitor to $FTNT (+1,49%) is. However, as I consider the sector to be very important for the future, I will get both on board.

Favorite stocks

$ASML (-1,59%) (The technology is extremely interesting)

$CDNS (+0,16%) (The program is complete garbage but quasi monopoly with $SNPS (-1,06%) )

Hate shares

$SRT3 (+0,09%) (Let's see if this is still something, was a purchase on online Google suggestions)

$NRJ (+0,65%) (I'll hold on to it, maybe it will be something in a few years)

$MIOTA (-0,74%) (Well, the share price says it all :D)

I would be happy to receive feedback and suggestions for improvement, please let me know any criticisms/suggestions, that's the only way to keep learning;)

In this sense, enjoy the day and have a nice New Year's Day

Will renewable technologies be boosted even more by the Ukraine conflict, as they can create independence from e.g. Russia in energy production? What do you think?

In my opinion yes! A topic which can yield an attractive return for the next 10-20 years.

can yield.

(Please no discussion about the Ukraine conflict! We are all aware of the dire situation!)

Hello dear getquin community.

This is my first post here at getquin.

My portfolio is unfortunately not yet complete, as I am still waiting for a portfolio transfer and thus for the purchase and sales invoices, so that I can then upload them here.

My largest positions in my portfolio are currently about evenly distributed:

Water ETF ($LYM8 (-0,28%) )

New Energy ETF ($LYM9 (+0,65%) )

Electric Vehicle ETF ($IEVD (+0,42%) )

Comsumable US ETF ($XUCS (-0,69%) )

Allinanz ($ALV (-0,66%) )

Microsoft ($MSFT (-1,05%) )

TSMC ( $TSM (+0,43%) )

I would like to add one more position from the financial sector to my portfolio

Since I try to incorporate sustainability thinking into my investment decisions, I would be reluctant to invest in large banks.

Does it make sense here to go for positions like $UBK (-1,29%) going long?

My concern is that the price correlates too much with those in the New Energy areas.

Do you guys have any recommendations that would be in line with what I am thinking?

Kind regards

Created a savings plan for the kids. Let's see where we see ourselves in 15 years ...

The goal of my post is to give a comparison to the different Clean Energy ETFs and discuss the topic with you in the long run. There is already a good page here at https://app.getquin.com/learn/nachhatlig-investieren-in-2021/

Therefore, I would first go into the topic of Clean Energy in general.

First of all, you have to understand what the framework conditions are and why clean energy is such an important topic. Clean Energy is one of the 17 development goals of the UN, also under the title Agenda 2030 - Transformation of the World.

People as "the center of sustainable development". To better engage people with the UN SDG (sustainaible development goals) targets, there is a strong regional and local focus to drive implementation in concrete activities. An example of this would be: promoting charging stations for electric cars.

As part of the European Green Deal, the Commission proposed in September 2020 to increase the greenhouse gas emissions reduction target to at least 55% by 2030 (emissions and removals) compared to 1990 levels. It considered what measures - including more energy efficiency and renewables - are needed across all sectors, and will initiate work by June 2021 on detailed legislative proposals to implement and deliver the more ambitious targets.

Why 1990? Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased by almost 50 percent since 1990!

--> specifically, the EU wants to be climate neutral by 2050.

What is the Paris Climate Agreement?

Paris Agenda:

The Paris Agreement sets out a global framework to combat climate change: Global warming is to be kept well below 2°C; the temperature rise is to be limited to 1.5°C through further measures. In addition, countries are to be supported in adapting to the consequences of climate change.

This results in strong demand and high investments in renewable energies. What is meant by "clean energy"?

I would classify it into different sectors:

Renewables

- biofuels

- solar

- wind

- Hydropower

- Geothermal energy, etc

Energy transition

- Energy conversion (i.e. conversion technologies, fuel cells, hydrogen technology,etc)

-Energy efficiency

- energy storage

Comment on all indices:

All five indices deal with clean energy, with ishares probably being the best known ETF currently if you look at the charts at the brokers. The problem with the S&P Global Clean Energy Index, however, is that due to the weighting by market capitalization, the top 10 stocks, similar to the Lyxor and First Trust product, make up about 50% of the entire index and so you have a high dependence on individual stocks, which you would logically not actually want to have in an ETF, because otherwise you could also buy 5 individual stocks. In addition, one has an overweighting of the USA with almost 40%.

With Lyxor's New Energy ETF one has with the top 10 over 65% index weighting, diversified goes differently. US exposure at 36%.

The WilderHill index has the broadest exposure to clean energy with 125 small cap stocks and the equal weighting makes it really broadly diversified. The top 10 make up just 10% of the index. The country distribution is really broad across the world. The ETF is still young though, but that doesn't mean it has to be worse than the 5 billion Ishares Clean Energy ETF.

On the contrary, due to the enormous size of the ishares ETF and the small market capitalizations of the index companies, the ishares ETF currently poses the greatest risk of market distortions in my view.

First Trust's product is U.S.-focused (79% exposure!) and thus one has a strong exposure to the U.S., which could help with the Biden infrastructure program. The top 10 make up over 55% of the index weight. USA sector bet I would say.

The L&G ETF is also equally weighted, so it's in the middle of the pack in terms of theme. Top Ten at 23%, the only ETF in the range where Eurozone is overweight in the index.

For me, the winner is the Invesco Global Clean Energy ETF. Looking forward to your comments!
