The transition to clean energy is gaining widespread traction. Technological innovation and improved economics, together with government directives aimed to reduce energy consumption from traditional sources mean investment in renewable energies is growing at an exponential rate. The world’s thirst and the institutionally driven demand for renewable energy is unquenchable, and its growing. Investing in the clean energy revolution is an investment in the supply for this shift in demand.

The First Trust NASDAQ® Clean Edge® Green Energy UCITS ETF (“QCLN”) provides pure play access to the switch to clean energy.
