How To Invest In The NEX

An investor cannot directly buy an index. There are commonly, however, index-tracking funds available to 'buy' an index by closely matching index performance.

An independent Fund, the PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, symbol PBD, seeks to mirror the performance of NEX. Investors wishing to trade the global clean energy sector as defined by the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index (NEX) can contact their Broker or PowerShares directly, for PBD. An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) helpfully calculates intra-day in the U.S. Generally speaking ETFs will also carry characteristics of intra-day trading and transparency.
