iShares, First Trust, and Invesco: Which Clean Energy ETF Fits Your 2026 Portfolio

"iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN) is the largest of the three funds, with approximately $2.2 billion in assets. It tracks the S&P Global Clean Energy Transition Index, which is designed to capture clean energy companies across both developed and emerging markets."

"The geographic breadth is the defining feature here, as ICLN holds companies from more than 20 countries, including the United States, Spain, Denmark, China, India, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, and Portugal."

"The sector mix skews toward industrials and technology rather than traditional utilities. Industrials represent 34% of the portfolio, information technology 12%, while utilities are at 43%, reflecting the fund's tilt toward clean energy equipment manufacturers and infrastructure builders."

"The expense ratio is 0.39%, the lowest of the three funds, which matters over long holding periods. ICLN has gained about 76% over the past year and is up roughly 20% year to date in 2026."
