Description

Invesco Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF Acc tracks the issuer-declared index: WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.60%, plus 0.17% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is physical replication (it buys the index constituents); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 110 million euro, was launched on 1 March 2021 and is domiciled in Ireland. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 2 ETFs declaring the same index.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

Investment objective: The objective of the Fund is to achieve the net total return performance of the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index (the "Index"), less fees, expenses and transaction costs. Dividend Policy: This Share Class does not pay you income, but instead reinvests it to grow your capital, in line with its stated objectives. Investment approach: The Fund is a passively managed ETF. To achieve the investment objective, the Fund will, as far as possible and practicable, hold all the securities in the Index in their respective weightings. The Fund may use derivative instruments for the purposes of managing risk, reducing costs, generating additional capital or income. The Fund may engage in securities lending, whereby 90% of the revenues arising from securities lending will be returned to the Fund and 10% of the revenues will be retained by the securities lending agent. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund is an Article 9 Fund (it has a sustainable investment objective) for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR"). The Fund’s base currency is USD.

Companies are excluded if they are deemed by the Index provider (using data provided by Sustainalytics) to be involved in activities which have adverse impacts on societies and ecosystems from an environmental, social and governance standpoint. Companies are then assessed to determine whether they have meaningful exposure (as determined in accordance with the Index provider’s criteria) to one of the following clean energy sectors, as defined by the Index provider: 1) Renewable – Wind; 2) Renewable –Solar; 3) Renewable – Biofuels &

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
Source: Invesco. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 1 of the last 4 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
