Die Abkehr von fossilen Brennstoffen und der Schutz des begrenzten Vorrats an sauberem Wasser auf unserem Planeten sind für die Nachhaltigkeit des Lebens auf der Erde von entscheidender Bedeutung.

In den letzten zehn Jahren sind die Preise für erneuerbare Energien erheblich gesunken, was die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Stromerzeugung grundlegend verändert hat. Dies hat zu einer Veränderung der Art und Weise geführt, wie die Welt ihren Strom erzeugt.

Bis vor weniger als einem Jahrzehnt entfiel der Grossteil der neuen Stromerzeugungskapazitäten auf fossile Brennstoffe, was den Preisaufschlag widerspiegelt, der in der Vergangenheit mit den erneuerbaren Energien verbunden war.

Wendepunkt für saubere Energie

Das Jahr 2015 markiert einen Wendepunkt: Mehr als die Hälfte der neuen Stromerzeugungskapazität stammt aus erneuerbaren Energien:

• 2006: 25 Prozent der weltweiten neuen Stromerzeugungskapazitäten stammen aus erneuerbaren Energien

• 2015: Anteil der erneuerbaren Energien erreicht 50 Prozent

• 2021: 80 Prozent der neuen Stromerzeugungskapazitäten sind erneuerbar1

Heute steht die Solarenergie an der Spitze der erneuerbaren Energiequellen. Im Jahr 2022 entfielen auf sie schätzungsweise 62 Prozent der jährlichen weltweiten Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien, womit sich der 2019 begonnene stetige Aufwärtstrend fortsetzt.2

Nicht in Stein gemeisselt

Der Grossteil der verbleibenden Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien entfällt auf Windkraftanlagen, die im Jahr 2022 25 Prozent der Gesamtinvestitionen ausmachten. Die Zukunft der sauberen Energie ist nicht in Stein gemeisselt und wird davon abhängen, ob Politiker, Entscheidungsträger aus der Unternehmenswelt und einfache Bürger die notwendigen Schritte unternehmen, um eine Klimakatastrophe zu vermeiden.

Die zahlreichen Zusagen aus aller Welt, die durch beträchtliche Investitionen und politische Unterstützung gestützt werden, lassen jedoch hoffen, dass weitere Fortschritte möglich sind.

Der L&G Clean Energy UCITS ETF richtet sich an Anleger, die das Wachstumspotenzial der steigenden Nachfrage nach umweltfreundlicheren Energielösungen nutzen wollen.

Sauberes Wasser

Etwa 70 Prozent der Erde sind mit Wasser bedeckt, aber nur etwa 3 Prozent davon sind Süsswasser, das heisst, es ist nicht salzhaltig und eignet sich für die Aufbereitung zu Trinkwasser. Von diesen 3 Prozent befinden sich zwei Drittel in gefrorenen Gletschern oder sind anderweitig unzugänglich.3

Durch das Bevölkerungswachstum wird dieses begrenzte Angebot immer knapper, und die UNO schätzt, dass die Nachfrage nach Süsswasser das Angebot bis 2030 um 40 Prozent übersteigen wird.4 Auch der Klimawandel verschärft das Problem.

Undichte Stellen im System

Ein dritter Faktor ist das Problem der undichten Stellen im System, durch die jedes Jahr 32 Milliarden Kubikmeter sauberes Wasser verloren gehen.5 Die digitale Technologie spielt bei der Bewältigung dieses Problems eine immer grössere Rolle: Wasserversorgungsunternehmen nutzen digitale Lösungen und Wassertechnologieanbieter, die Hightech-Geräte wie Sensoren und Cloud-Plattformen zur Überwachung einsetzen.

Das Endergebnis ist weniger Leckagen, was bedeutet, dass diese kostbarste aller natürlichen Ressourcen besser genutzt werden kann.

Der L&G Clean Water UCITS ETF zielt darauf ab, Anlegern ein Engagement in einem breit gefächerten Korb von Unternehmen zu bieten, die in der globalen Frischwasserwirtschaft und -verteilung tätig sind und das Potenzial von Wassertechnologien und digitalen Lösungen nutzen.

Key risks

Past performance is not a guide to the future. The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, you may not get back the amount you originally invested. It should be noted that diversification is no guarantee against a loss in a declining market.

L&G Clean Energy UCITS ETF

Past performance is not a guide to the future. The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up; you may not get back the amount you originally invested. As the Index includes micro, small and medium-sized publicly traded companies, the Fund is subject to the risk that such companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events and greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger companies or the stock market as a whole.

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with technology-focused companies that are particularly vulnerable to rapid developments in technology (which may leave their products out-of-date), government regulation and competition from domestic and foreign competitors who may have lower production costs.

Such companies may also have difficulties establishing and maintaining patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets relating to their products which could negatively affect their value. Third-party service providers (such as counterparties entering into FDIs with the Fund or the Company’s depositary) may go bankrupt and fail to pay money due to the Fund or return property belonging to the Fund.

If the Index provider stops calculating the Index or if the Fund’s license to track the Index is terminated, the Fund may have to be closed. It may not always be possible to buy and sell Shares on a stock exchange or at prices closely reflecting the NAV. There is no capital guarantee or protection on the value of the Fund. Investors can lose all the capital invested in the Fund.

Please refer to the «Risk Factors» section of the Company’s Prospectus and the Fund Supplement.
