NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2022 Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, an asset management firm known for its global exchange-traded funds and innovative investment strategies, announced the launch of the KraneShares Electrification Metals ETF on the New York Stock Exchange today. KMET offers broad coverage of the key metals needed for the electrification of the global economy.
It’s that time of year again, as firms start to share their estimated cap gain distributions for their ETFs. Investors may already be aware of ETFs’ flexibility in avoiding cap gains distributions thanks to their inherent tax efficiency and use of authorized participants, but it may be time to revisit which ETFs will go without distributions this year.
Oil and gas producers are underestimating their emissions output by as much as three times what they are self-reporting, revealed Climate TRACE, a worldwide coalition of non-profit organizations, researchers, tech companies, and more — at COP27, which is currently happening in Egypt. Increasing transparency around emissions allows the opportunity for better business practices as investors continue to get more engaged on climate issues, and KraneShares offers an extensive climate suite of ETFs for a variety of approaches around the emissions transition.
The latest emissions report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was just released, and its messaging is as dire as ever: This year brought negligible emissions reductions, and now drastic change will be needed to curtail global warming.
KraneShares launched its newest fund, the KraneShares Electrification Metals ETF (KMET), which will offer targeted exposure to the metals that will be necessary for the electrification and clean energy transition of the world’s economy in the pivot to net-zero emissions.
The annual United Nations General Assembly concluded last week in New York as leaders from around the world met to discuss a range of topics in person for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Alongside the General Assembly was New York City’s Climate Week which played host to a gathering of global leaders from businesses, government, and civilian life with a focus on global warming and climate initiatives and carbon markets were a central part of discussions.
The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act is, in dollar terms, the most substantial climate legislation passed in the U.S., and while that means there are abundant domestic opportunities available to U.S. investors, thinking about the bill on a global basis could also pay off.
Clearing house members in the European Union have been tackling elevated margin requirements, but they’re finally getting some assistance from Ice Clear Europe with the acceptance of European Union emissions allowances (EUAs).
This year, the world has been ravaged by extreme weather with unprecedented heatwaves sweeping through much of Europe over the summer and droughts, wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, and typhoons all increasing in magnitude and scope globally. The call to action on climate change is being met now across industries, in the public and private sectors, and by investors. Gina McCarthy, the departing White House National Climate Advisor and former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, spoke to the changes she has witnessed over her tenure as the country’s first climate advisor in a New York Times piece.
Europe’s energy crisis is likely to lead it to sell shares of its carbon credits from reserves to raise funding to help curb crippling energy prices heading into the fall and winter. The European carbon market allowance prices fell on the news last week as investors absorbed and priced in this high likelihood, with prices now sitting at an appealing entry point.
Here is a look at the 25 best and 25 worst ETFs from the past week. Traders can use this list to find prospective candidates that have deviated too far from their longer-term trends, thereby serving as potential starting points for those looking to take on either short or long positions.
Likewise, traders can also use this list to spot potential trend reversal opportunities that may offer a generous risk/reward. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.
