Global X announced the latest addition to its ETF product lineup today, rolling out a fund designed to offer investors exposure to one of the world’s most important metals. The Global X Lithium ETF (LIT) will seek to replicate the Solactive Global Lithium Index, a benchmark designed to reflect the performance of companies across the globe that are primarily engaged in any part of the lithium industry including; mining, exploration, and lithium-ion battery production. “The Global X Lithium ETF is an efficient way to invest in what we refer to as a “green” commodity because of its direct correlation to the renewable energy market such as electric cars and energy storage,” said Bruno del Ama, CEO of Global X Funds see our recent interview with Bruno At The Bottom Of The Page.

Boom Continues

 

This new addition of LIT continues the trend of the booming commodity producer ETF segment. As investors have looked for other ways to achieve commodity exposure beyond more traditional strategies such as with physically backed funds like GLD or futures-based strategies such as UNG– instead, investors have embraced a form of “indirect” commodity exposure in the form of equities.

LIT joins about 20 other ETFs in the Commodity Producer Equities ETFdb Category that offer investors a way to establish exposure to prices of commodities through stocks of companies engaged in their discovery, extraction, refining, and sale. That list of ETFs includes both broad-based funds (such as HAP) as well as more targeted ETFs focusing on miners of gold (GDX, GDXJ), silver (SIL), copper (COPX), and platinum (PLTM). As this sector continues to expand, investors are gaining access to more commodities that might not lend themselves to a physical replication strategy or a futures-based fund also see MiningETFs: Ready To Rally?.

He recently took time out of his busy schedule to talk about China, ETF innovation, and more with ETF Database.

 

Alternative Power – The Advantages You Can Have As You Make Energy Efficient House Plans

The concept of energy effective house plans as a source of alternative power is very realistic and successful although it may appear a little unusual at first. It is well known as one of the finest 21st century findings. If you’re wondering about the concept of drawing up energy effective house plans, the answer’s very straightforward. Take a look at those newly-built buildings around you. The majority of these social systems have one energy-saving, energy-efficient formula built in to them.

A lot of folk don’t brazenly say that their houses are built according to energy saving plans, but in reality, they’re really living in energy saving houses. But the point is, without us seeing it, the theorem of energy effective house plans have just come in to play. So take for instance if you are a designer, or an engineer who’s going to build a solar panel as a source of energy, isn’t an energy effective house plan a good example to look at? In fact, its growing popularity will certainly stand by your side to guarantee your own success.

Just like if you are to build a solar panel, the major advantage of energy saving house plans, as the name says, is saving energy. Saving up on conventional techniques of deriving energy like electricity, line water and gas are the major financial advantages of the system. Therefore when your place is energy effective, you save so much money on your energy bills. Some would think that the conventional way of paying debt is better than putting up energy-saving devices at your own home. This is just some myth and it really has no explanation. If you do not believe it, sit down and do some calculations so that you will be able to see the point of this idea.

Perhaps at its implementation stage, energy effective house plans may cost a tiny higher than traditional strategies. While bearing that in mind the price can be simply covered in less than a year of implementing it, if done the right way. Therefore, if you’re avid on saving the world by energy saving, why not accept energy efficient house plans as a source of alternative power? The truth is that energy protected is cash gained! And living in such environment will give tons of benefits to your everyday life. Ponder upon this: is it not a great feeling to touch a warm floor under your feet?
