New Hydrogen ETF joins the ASX

No longer. The ETFS Hydrogen ETF has just floated on the ASX, meaning any investor can now buy shares, as they would with any other ETF or company.

So how has this new ETF performed so far on its first day of trading?

Well, HGEN units opened this morning at a price of $10.09. At the present time, they are up 0.3% to $10.12 a unit.

Not a spectacular debut in the leagues of some other recent ASX IPOs, but still a solid initial performance one could say.

So what kinds of companies does this new ETF invest in?

Well, according to the provider, this ETF is currently invested in a portfolio of 30 shares. These 30 companies are spread pretty evenly around the world. 27% of the holdings call the United Kingdom home, while another 26.3% do the same for the United States. South Korea is next up with an allocation of 17.1%, followed by Canada with 9.8%.

Here’s a list of HGEN’s current top 10 holdings:

1. Ballard Power Systems Inc (NYSE: BLDP) with a portfolio weighting of 8.5%
2. ITM Power plc (LON: ITM) with a weighting of 7.7%
3. Ceres Power Holdings plc (LON: CWR) with a weighting of 6.9%
4. Linde plc (NYSE: LIN) with a weighting of 4.8%
