We’ve added two new indices this quarter, the NASDAQ OMX Clean Edge Global Wind Energy Index and the Nasdaq OMX Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure Index. These two were the top performers over the first half of 2011 - with the Smart Grid Infrastructure Index ranking as the only index on the list to have chalked up a gain over the six month period (of 3.6%). It was also the best performer over the second quarter of the year - despite losing 6.3%. The index includes stocks such as General Electric, Siemens and utilities such as National Grid PLC and General Cable, which contributed to a less volatile performance than some of the indices with a heavy bias towards younger renewable energy companies.
