Corecam acquired 158,700 shares of the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) in Q4 2025, valued at $2.65 million, per an SEC filing. The position represents 1.36% of the fund’s assets under management. The ETF’s quarter-end value was $2.61 million, reflecting minor price fluctuations post-purchase. ICLN’s share price hit $17.43 on March 6, 2026, marking a 57.45% yearly gain and outperforming the S&P 500 by 40 percentage points. ICLN tracks global clean energy equities, offering exposure to renewable energy firms. Its $192M AUM and 1.52% dividend yield underscore its appeal as a thematic investment in sustainable energy transitions. Corecam’s top holdings remain GLD (12.44% AUM), SLV (8.72%), and XMHQ (6.89%), with ICLN ranking outside the top five. The move signals growing institutional interest in clean energy amid AI and EV-driven demand. The ETF’s global diversification—spanning the EU, Canada, and the U.S.—aligns with long-term energy transition trends, though volatility and policy risks persist for retail investors.
