Investors are plowing money into clean energy funds as Ukraine war puts energy needs in spotlight

Investors are returning to clean energy stocks after months of exiting the space as Russia’s war on Ukraine shines a spotlight on energy security. Higher and volatile oil and gas prices also make the case for renewables more attractive.

Renewable-energy funds saw about $642 million in inflows during March, according to data from Morningstar Direct. The activity follows three straight months of decline, that saw roughly $1.9 billion yanked from the space.
