As we near the halfway point of 2023, there is no doubt that the realm of finance is still going strong. Mutual Advisors LLC has recently made headlines by increasing their holdings in iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN) by a notable 53.4% during Q1, according to their most recent Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As it stands, they own a total of 181,267 shares worth $3,585,000 at the end of the most recent reporting period.
This move has raised some eyebrows within the industry, as it seems that Mutual Advisors LLC is investing heavily in clean energy despite ongoing challenges and uncertainty within this sector. However, this is likely due to the fact that ESG investing has rapidly become a priority for many investors in recent years. ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance factors – all important considerations when looking for sustainable investments that will have long-term positive impacts.
ICLN’s focus on global clean energy stocks aligns well with these goals, making it an attractive investment option for those looking to invest in companies making strides towards sustainability. The firm also announced a semi-annual dividend on June 13th – music to investors’ ears. Those who held stock on Thursday, June 8th received a dividend of $0.1246 per share.
