New Energy View

New Energy View provides comprehensive global tracking and accurate segmentation of publicly-traded sustainable energy businesses. We track several sustainable energy sectors to identify specific business strategies that are investable. We also provide broader information on equity indices and fixed income investing.

Our sustainable energy research has focused on isolating sub-sectors that have multiple PurePlay(tm) companies pursing a specific business strategy. We have found that some, but not all, of these strategies are experiencing rapid technological advances and revenue growth. The growth strategies are volatile but some may have the potential for reasonable financial returns.

Outside of sustainable energy, I am persuaded that the 5 factor investing approach identified by Fama and French is a winning strategy. As a result NEV presents index returns for a selection of US, EAFA, and Emerging Market indices. These provide a useful contrast to the returns from the sustainable energy sector.

Fixed income investing is a key part of any portfolio. It reduces risk and provides return. After many years as an-after tax fixed income investor I developed several tools to help me select where and what on the yield looks interesting. NEV makes this tool available and also provides several of the underlying data sets.
