Not even the coronavirus pandemic could halt the worldwide trend towards regenerative forms of energy – either in terms of capacity expansion or on the stock market. After setting a new installation record in 2020, clean energy is set to experience even more demand this year. The experts from the IEA estimate that just under 218 GW of power will go on stream in 2021 – an increase of around one tenth. The share prices of the industry's representatives are also pointing up.
Clean energy could be the mega-trend of the 21st century, so it could open up huge opportunities on the capital markets as well. However, investors do not have to comb through the wide array of wind and solar energy specialists and hydroelectric and geothermal power companies for potential winners themselves. Migros Bank has launched the "Migros Bank Clean Energy Index" with the aim of enabling participation in the growth associated with the transformation of the energy sector. The barometer includes 25 initially equally weighted groups from the renewables industry.
The tone at the launch of the Migros Bank Clean Energy Index is set by companies from overseas, with the USA accounting for a total of eight stocks, Canada six. The rest – with one exception – are spread around Europe.

With the new tracker certificate on the Migros Bank Clean Energy Index, Leonteq offers investors the opportunity both to add climate protection to the portfolio and to participate in the potential price movements of the industry. The product tracks almost entirely the development of the broadly diversified index. Holders just have to pay a fee of 1.00% p.a. Three quarters of this is made up of the management fee, while the other quarter is a calculation agent fee that is deducted on a pro rata basis every quarter. Given the active approach, the expense ratio is modest. Migros Bank subjects the index to a six-monthly review and adjusts it where appropriate, taking a raft of qualitative and quantitative criteria into account. The active management ensures that the index optimally reflects the dynamic movement of the clean energy sector on an ongoing basis.
