TAN - Earth Day: Oil vs. ESG ETFs

It's only fair to evaluate oil and gas ETFs with ESG funds on a day that’s dedicated to our planet. On Earth Day, we evaluate which group of funds has the upper hand, but investors will need to make their own judgments in the end. See a breakdown below: The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLE) and iShares S&P Global Clean Energy Index ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN) are two of the most prominent energy funds available to market participants.
