USCF Announces Launch of the USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (Ticker: ZSB)
WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Jan. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USCF today announced it has launched the USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (ZSB). ZSB seeks total return by investing primarily in metals derivative instruments and, to a lesser extent in the equity securities of companies that are economically tied to the metals that are necessary for "Electrification". ZSB is an actively managed exchange traded fund (ETF).
"The energy transition is here and we believe that demand for certain metals should increase as the global economy undergoes a process known as "Electrification" said John Love, President and CEO of USCF. "During Electrification, energy derived from sustainable sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power will gradually replace energy generated by fossil fuels. The infrastructure needed to produce and store that energy , such as in Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, will require substantial amounts of certain metals. As a result, Electrification may lead to rising prices for these metals over time."
The fund seeks to achieve a "net-zero" carbon footprint by purchasing carbon offset investments in an amount equal to the estimated aggregate carbon emissions of the fund's holdings.
