In one word, returns. For three years the main Camino Energy site has been computing returns for:
- Camino’s five indices,
- Market Comparables (that would be used in a diversified portfolio),
- Sustainable ETFs, and
- actively managed Sustainable Mutual funds.
Suprisingly, the page with this data is infrequently visited so I have relocated the page to the highest level menu, Market Returns, to create greater visibility to the investment community. I’ve also expanded the coverage to include a couple of additional ETFs and the nuclear ETFs.
A quick perusal of this year’s returns shows a rocky start for the sustainable business. While the market comparables (ex commodities) are all positive YTD, the Sustainable Mutual funds and the Wind/Solar ETFs are all negative. A couple of the broader based ETFs are positive, most notably the PowerShares Global Progressive Transportation (PTRP) ETF is up 7.3% through April 23rd….interesting.
