Tracking difference = fund total return − index total return, both in USD, 25 Jun 2008 to 25 Sept 2026. Fund = dividend-adjusted close with every distribution reinvested, after every cost inside the fund and including lending income; index = S&P Global Clean Energy Total Return (total return). Negative means the fund delivered less than its index. Windows annualised; calendar years close to close. Exchange price, not net asset value, so a year-end premium or discount can move a single year by a few basis points. definition · how to read it · descriptive, not advice.

Buying from Europe — UCITS versions of ICLN

EU / EEA investors · UCITS funds

Investors in the EU and the EEA usually cannot buy iShares Global Clean Energy ETF itself: US-listed funds publish no key information document, which EU rules require. These European-domiciled funds follow the S&P Global Clean Energy index family instead.

Physically replicating Irish-domiciled funds pay 15% withholding tax on US dividends under the US–Ireland tax treaty; funds domiciled in Luxembourg usually pay 30% — a structural difference that shows up in the tracking difference of funds holding US shares. "Same index family" means the European fund may cap its largest holdings harder than the US fund, as EU fund rules require, so the two can diverge when one heavyweight runs. “vs ICLN, since” = the UCITS fund’s dollar line in London against ICLN, total return, percentage points a year since the common start — positive means the European version returned more.
