Focus: Green stocks and ETFs
MARKET OUTLOOK
Short-term noise is dominating the discourse right now, causing lots of volatility. I expect it to get worse before it gets better. Market fundamentals are strong, but everyone has the foreboding sense of an impending recession. If enough people start acting like a recession is coming, then it’ll become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
TOP PICKS
CHANGE FINANCE U.S. LARGE CAP FOSSIL FUEL FREE ETF (CHGX:UN)
CHGX has the lowest carbon exposure among socially responsible U.S. equity ETFs. It has outperformed the major U.S. equity benchmarks.
INVESCO GLOBAL WATER ETF (PIO:UW)
This is the only global water ETF that doesn’t include any gun manufacturers.
PATTERN ENERGY (PEGI:CT)
Pattern Energy is a renewable energy utility with attractive dividend that may be an acquisition target.
