Like all investors, those who are focused on sustainability are looking for ways to hedge inflation and deliver long-term value in today's economy. Two new exchange-traded funds stand out the first by providing active management in the often-overlooked specialty of ocean health, and the second by investing in futures contracts on commodities, natural gas and carbon credits tied to the transition to alternative energy sources.
Investing in clean oceans. Our oceans are in trouble. Overfishing, plastic pollution and climate change decimate sea life and jeopardize the livelihoods of millions globally. Enter Newday Impact Investing, which launched the OCEAN HEALTH ETF (SYMBOL AHOY, $20) in June. The ETF will invest at least 80% of its assets in firms that further ocean health. (Prices are as of August 5.) The ETF's active management may weather a volatile market better than an index fund might. And the Ocean Health ETF has reasonable annual expenses of 0.75%.
