By following this innovative index, the Invesco ETF will invest in companies focused in wind, solar, biofuels, hydro and other renewable energy sources as well as those involved in energy conversion, storage, conservation and efficiency. The ETF will also avoid companies with exposure to fossil fuels.

The index’s equal-weighted approach reduces concentration risk compared to a market-cap-weighted index and provides the ETF with meaningful exposure to the full breadth of opportunities in the diverse and constantly evolving clean energy space.

I'd manually check the holdings though and compare to to INRG

there own website says it was founded in 2007, maybe only the london ticker is new
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/GCLX/invesco/company-page

holdings https://www.invesco.com/us/financial-products/etfs/holdings?audienceType=Investor&ticker=PBD

chart doesn't look much different to INRG though maybe a fraction less volatile

Really? For my holdings it is, can you give some examples? I'd cross-reference it with other sites anyway when doing proper research, but I think it gives a good overview unless the data is very inaccurate or very old.

Too much volatility for me to sell and buy

Nothing really stands out. Everything I see is a bit 50:50

Tempted to sell ezj. I'm 98 percent up and it's only going to take a little bad news to send it tumbling.
 
The latest T212 email indicates that they are now going to charge for currency conversions. 0.15% on all conversions including dividends with no option to hold multiple currencies in your account. Not a huge amount but more than modern banks charge i.e nothing.

They must have been really badly but hurt by market last year. So far the last 6 months have seen massive spread. The near full suspension of their CFD stocks, reduced CFD margins, limits on any and every stock mentioned on Reddit or that could possibly be mentioned, minimum values on orders, fees for deposits via debit card, and now conversion fees.

Nice - you must have got in at the perfect time. I'm about 40% up with IAG, much more room to grow of course but 2 years minimum I think. What to do :)

However, very close to selling up on Hyve, I don't feel they have as much left in them (for now).
 
Asia markets flat, UK initially down similar to the US drop after hours but coming back. Big day today....is this just a blip and people are confident about buying the dip....or do we get another sell off.

When does Joe's stimulus get passed ? Should see markets go back green when the money printer starts brrrrrring again

I don't think it's going to be that straight forward this time around. The $1.9 trillion needed for the stimulus will be financed by the Treasury issuing bonds and investors are not buying bonds right now. Interest rates are low and inflation is high so the return on the bonds is below inflation. Investors won't be buying $1.9 trillion worth of bonds unless the Fed increases the interest rate, which would increase the cost of borrowing and upset the markets quite a bit. So then the Fed buys the bonds by printing money. This keeps the bond yields artificially low but increases inflation even more. This makes bonds look even more unattractive to investors and the cycle continues.

At least that's how I understand it. I'm probably wrong in a few aspects.

Buy the dip?

Was just having a look. There seems to be a number of days it was at 500p since pandemic. Then it just 'takes off'.

I'm. A bit surprised it's up this far so soo.
 
Any tips on where to open a passive tracker type account?

I am looking to set-up my first S&S ISA for me and my partner along with a SIPP for myself and then Junior S&S ISAs for the kids.

Should I try and get it all from one place? It seems best place is Vanguard for their low fees but Hargreaves, Fidelity or ii offer the chance to buy shares and access to wider funds.

I just want to pump a monthly amount into the various accounts and ultimately let it compound away whilst I try and figure out shares and crypto as another avenue to invest in.

Vanguard for the adult S&S ISA (generally considered to have the lowest fee for a normal ISA), Fidelity for the Junior ISA (has zero fees for junior accounts)
 
Anyone tempted by the MoneyDashboard crowdcube investment?

I didn't participate in the first one and contemplating this as i'm a fan of their product and imagine their company is well placed to be bought out by a larger bank at some point, just struggling to find much information about valuations etc.

The terms seem favourable with 8% interest paid on the convertible loans and then shares issued at a 20% discount when any future listing is done. Obviously not the chance for moon level growth, but with some belief in the company surviving then it seems a decent bet.



@Russinating - Did you ever follow up with your investment with Crowdcube? I'm just looking through some of the things on there and so many seem to be so worthless repetition of existing businesses.

If you are starting off with larger lump sum for your partner and your own S&S ISA then Fidelity have some good cashback offers at the moment. You only need to have the account for 3 months then you can switch to another provider if you wish. This doesn't include Junior ISA or SIPP though. If you sign up separately both on Fidelity and TopCashback you'll get the cashback twice.

If you're starting from nothing and drip feeding a passive tracker then Vanguard will be best due to their low fees. As you say, you don't have access to wider funds or shares with Vanguard but that doesn't sound like what you're after at the minute so that shouldn't matter.
 
Also seems like Cellular Goods is dropping by the day and down another 10% today.

My shares still haven't become available as even with the connect details Primary Bid seem to be having issues with Interactive Investor. Definitely won't be using them again. Although chuckling to myself that by the time i sell i'm getting annoyed i'll have "only" doubled my money (assuming it doesn't continue to dive).

They're releasing the details next week so they've said. It's a local gin & whisky distillery and tap room so nothing "new" if that's what you're looking for but they certianly did well last year all things considered and it'll be interesting to see their financials and offer. https://www.bristoldistilling.com/fundraising

I'm still holding, only £200 in - might just leave it for 6-12 months :) Remember, they haven't got any products online yet.

Interesting. I sometimes find the best thing about investing in places like that are discounts :D

It was my main reasoning for investing in Brewdog, but that has given me actual financial increases too! Another i saw was Chapel Down which offered good benefits to shareholders. I've seen a few other breweries raising money through crowdfunding too.

It's good to see more distilleries popping up in the UK, especially for Whisky. I'm always a little weary of Gin places though as i feel at some point the momentum will move to another spirit and all these gin places will struggle with there being so many. A plan to distribute 50% of profits via dividend seems impressive though and if they're local then there's always that benefit too.

Yes, getting to the point i might consider just holding. II charge £10 a month in fees though, and i was expecting to be in and out quickly. I might sell and rebuy through T212.
