BNY Launches BGRD: A New Global Power Ecosystem ETF

On Tuesday, November 10, BNY Investments debuted the BNY Mellon Power Ecosystem ETF (BGRD).Key Takeaways: BNY Investments has launched a new fund: the BNY Mellon Power Ecosystem ETF (BGRD). BGRD leverages BNY Investments’ expertise in global energy to provide exposure to power ecosystem companies from across the world. This could be a compelling opportunity for investors, given the relative attractiveness of the energy industry and international exposure alike. BGRD looks to generate long-term capital appreciation through investing in global companies that are part of the power ecosystem. For the BNY Investments team, the power ecosystem refers to companies and securities that relate to the transmission, generation, storage, distribution, management, or efficiency of power. The fund has an expense ratio of 50 basis points. In terms of industry concentration, BGRD offers a focus on different industries that play a key role in the power ecosystem. This includes utilities, heavy electrical equipment, energy traders, consumable fuels, construction, and much more.

This helps the fund locate attractive investment themes, find companies to help outpace the power ecosystem industry, and more. It’s worth noting that BGRD is a global fund, and may invest in as many foreign stocks as it likes. Furthermore, BGRD’s international equities are often denominated in foreign currencies, with its currency exposure generally unhedged to the U.S. dollar. Looking holistically, both global exposure and engagement with the energy industry have been considered valuable investments thus far this year. As such, BGRD’s focus on the power ecosystem and global lens may make it a compelling portfolio addition.

For investors seeking targeted exposure to this potential opportunity, BGRD may contribute to more resilient portfolios.” BNY Investments already has a proven track record when it comes to navigating the energy industry on a global scale.
