VCLN

VCLN is actively managed to provide exposure to clean energy stocks from around the world. Companies from utilities, industrials, technology, and energy sectors should have at least 50% of their value in three clean energy business segments: (1) clean energy production, (2) provision of technology and equipment, and (3) transmission and distribution of clean energy. In identifying these businesses, stocks are evaluated based on their reported/estimated revenue, profits, assets, and capital expenditures dedicated to clean energy. A bottom-up, research-driven process is then employed to select the final portfolio. The fund identifies superior clean energy stocks using an in-depth fundamental business analysis, which includes a qualitative and quantitative assessment of investment outlook, regulatory and political events, and financial strength. Individual stocks are capped at 10%.
