The Energy Blog is taking a new step by accepting advertising from organizations that are in some way related to the thrust of the blog. Your patronage of the advertisers would be appreciated. The following is a press release from the first of our advertisers, Guinness Atkinson, regarding a new mutual fund that they have launched that invests in companies involved in activities relating to alternative energy.
Guinness Atkinson Asset Management, Inc., announces the launch of the no-load Guinness Atkinson Alternative Energy Fund, which will invest in companies involved in the production, distribution or storage of alternative energy, including energy conservation. The fund is designed as a vehicle for investors seeking to profit from and participate in the shift from conventional fuels to alternative energy sources.
The fund will invest primarily in companies that produce 50 percent or more of revenues from alternative energy and will be managed with an emphasis on value. Lead manager of the fund will be Tim Guinness, Chief Investment Officer of Guinness Atkinson, who also manages the Guinness Atkinson Global Energy Fund.
“Increasing global energy demands, coupled with limiting supplies, will continue to force prices for energy higher and, in turn, accelerate the development of alternative energy sources,” Mr. Guinness said. “We believe that the shift from conventional fuels to alternative forms of energy provides a new opportunity for investors,” he added.
Mr. Guinness also cautioned about risks associated with investing in alternative energy sector. “Many of these companies are small and thinly traded and by some measures more than fairly valued at the moment,” he said. “As optimistic as we are about the prospects for the alternative energy sector, we expect it to be volatile. An investment in it should be considered for the long-term”, he added.
Guinness Atkinson has produced an in-depth, eight page research report called the Alternative Energy Revolution. This report provides an analysis of various alternative energy technologies and includes a discussion of the shift underway from conventional to alternative energy. Investors wishing to learn more can request a a copy of the Alternative Energy Revolution by calling 800 915-6565 or by visiting

This is just great! It's a smart move. This way, alternative energy like solar energy will be more advertised and promoted thus leading to more people being aware of what it's benefits that we can take advantage of.

New mutual funds also tend to have a lot more risk, & those with higher portfolio turnovers pose even greater risks. I have invested some of my capital in to the Fairholme mutual fund run by Bruce Berkowitz.
Although its portfolio turnover is over 71%, which is really like aggressive short term trading.
A mutual fund's portfolio turnover is the percentage of stocks, bonds & other securities that are bought and sold during the course of one year. For example, consider a hypothetical ABC Fixed Income fund reports a portfolio turnover of 40% for the year 2010.

Assuming the fund held 100 stocks at the beginning & ending of the year, it will have sold 40 stocks during the course of the year and replaced them with 40 newer stocks

While the energy debate persists, voting with our wallets is a great way to move us toward energy independence and away from overconsumption. The natural gas industry has been very effective at getting their message out. I look forward to the time when solar panels can be produced so economically that almost every home has them.
