Rockefeller Asset Management (Rockefeller), the asset management arm of Rockefeller Capital Management, and KraneShares, a leading global ETF provider specializing in China, climate, and uncorrelated assets, today launched the KraneShares Rockefeller Ocean Engagement ETF (ticker: KSEA). The fund invests in public companies with significant impact on oceans and ocean resources, reflecting the meaningful investment opportunities within the blue economy,\u00a0a subset of the ocean economy focused on solutions that are sustainable, and have ocean-positive benefits.<\/p>\n
KSEA aims to generate competitive returns and improve ocean health through shareholder engagement activity focused on pollution prevention, carbon transition, and ocean conservation. Holdings include companies from diverse sectors such as aquaculture, commercial fishing, waste management, renewable energy, and logistics, among others.<\/p>\n
“Our goal with KSEA is to offer investors access to the blue economy \u2013 an area of the market with significant growth potential,” said Rolando F. Morillo, Co-Portfolio Manager for Thematic Investments at Rockefeller Asset Management<\/strong><\/span>. “Harnessing Rockefeller\u2019s over three decades of impact investing experience and partnerships with leading non-profit organizations for ocean conservation, including The Ocean Foundation and World Resources Institute, we\u00a0pursue alpha generation for our clients and positive outcomes for ocean health.\u201d<\/p>\nKSEA is sub-advised by Rockefeller, which offers significant capabilities in engagement, sustainability, and thematic investing. “At Rockefeller, constructive shareholder engagement has long been a key part of our investment process.\u00a0We see significant opportunities to invest in and engage with companies striving to improve their impact on the world\u2019s oceans,” said Jose Garza, Co-Portfolio Manager for Thematic Investments at Rockefeller Asset Management.<\/p>\n
The blue economy is projected to expand at twice the rate of the mainstream economy by 2030, with the global economic output of the ocean currently standing at $2.4 trillion per year. If the ocean were a country, it would represent the world’s seventh largest economy.<\/p>\n
“We are delighted to partner with Rockefeller Asset Management and add KSEA to our distinguished climate investment portfolio, enriching our offerings that already include the likes of the KraneShares Global Carbon ETF (KRBN),” said Luke Oliver, KraneShares Head of Climate Investments<\/strong><\/span>. “The introduction of KSEA is a significant milestone, presenting investors with a dual advantage \u2013 an opportunity to contribute to a healthier ocean ecosystem and potentially achieve superior returns from this rapidly emerging sector. We firmly believe that the companies that drive positive environmental change will be the frontrunners of economic growth, and the Rockefeller team designed KSEA specifically to tap into this potential for outperformance.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSource : ETFWorld.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
