Freshly launched exchange-traded fund focuses on environmental sustainability.
A recent confirmation email sent to investors regarding their subscription to the Easy Low Carbon 300 World PAB UCITS ETF (ISIN: LU2194449075) has sparked curiosity about the ETF's composition and performance under the new criteria. However, the email itself is unrelated to the ETF and serves only as a confirmation for the subscription.
The ETF, which was listed on Euronext Paris and Xetra since June 29, 2021, tracks the Euronext-calculated Low Carbon 300 World PAB Index. The index focuses on companies with low carbon emissions and a positive climate impact, but it does not restrict holdings solely to firms with majority revenue from renewables. Instead, it includes companies that contribute to carbon reduction and sustainability more broadly.
Among the top holdings in the ETF as of June 2025, NVIDIA Corp stands out as a technology leader with significant involvement in energy-efficient computing and data center infrastructure. However, it is not predominantly a renewable energy company. Other top holdings like Inditex (retail), Eli Lilly (pharmaceuticals), UnitedHealth (healthcare), and Home Depot (retail/home improvement) generally do not derive at least half their revenue from renewable energy or carbon reduction technologies. There is no explicit data confirming that these top holdings derive at least 50% of their revenue from renewable energy or carbon reduction technologies.
The specific criteria used for the best-in-class approach, focusing on renewable energy and carbon reduction technologies, are now provided. The Low Carbon 300 World PAB Index includes 15% of the best-performing companies in each sector based on CO2 emissions. However, more detailed revenue breakdowns by segment would be needed to identify companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from renewable energy or carbon reduction technologies explicitly.
It's worth noting that the management fees or other costs associated with the ETF are still not mentioned, and the performance of the ETF under the new criteria for the best-in-class approach is not discussed. Furthermore, the location of the companies within the ETF is not specified.
Despite these uncertainties, the Easy Low Carbon 300 World PAB UCITS ETF continues to attract investors seeking exposure to companies with low carbon footprints or positive environmental impact. However, a clearer understanding of the revenue sources of the top holdings would provide a more accurate representation of the ETF's alignment with its renewable energy focus.
