Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF (PCLN) invests in high-quality companies whose products and services we believe will accelerate our economy’s transition towards a cleaner future. From efficient supply chain to smart grids to digital enablers, PCLN aims to capture opportunities across the full ecosystem of environmental technologies that extends beyond renewable energy investments.
"Our decades of thematic investing experience have taught us that compelling opportunities arise where powerful megatrends – such as urbanisation, AI & computing power, resource scarcity, and climate change – converge to reshape how societies produce, consume, and connect. PCLN leverages our platform of more than seventy thematic investment specialists and three decades of institutional research capabilities to identify companies that are well-positioned to capture long-term secular growth drivers across these megatrends, accelerating the global economic transition towards a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future." said Yi Shi, Client Portfolio Manager for PCLN.
Pictet AI & Automation ETF (PBOT) provides disciplined, research-driven exposure to companies positioned to benefit from the ongoing adoption of AI and automation technologies, targeting transformative efficiency gains and productivity growth while avoiding momentum-driven investing pitfalls.
"As thematic long-term investors, we can invest in the entire value-chain of artificial intelligence while positioning our portfolio to capture the key beneficiaries of AI as they emerge. PBOT provides investors with long-term exposure to AI and automation through rigorous fundamental analysis designed to capitalize on long-term benefits rather than short-term momentum,” said Anjali Bastianpillai, Senior Client Portfolio Manager for PBOT.
The launch of Pictet ETFs expands the firm’s client-focused approach to investment management into a fast-growing segment of the market that has seen rapid adoption among investors and their advisors. The new strategies rely on the same independent thinking, rigorous fundamental research and focus on long-term results that has powered Pictet’s success for clients through a wide range of market and economic cycles.

Market price returns may be calculated using the midpoint between the bid and ask prices.
Performance Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
