How to 'buy the Index.'
An investor cannot directly buy an index.
An independent Fund, the PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio, symbol PBW, seeks to mirror the performance of ECO. Investors wishing to trade PBW, and the clean energy sector as defined by the WilderHill Clean Energy Index can contact their Broker or PowerShares directly.
An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) calculates intra-day, like the Index (ECO). Generally speaking, ETFs carry the characteristics of intra-day trading and transparency.

The WilderHill Clean Energy Index® (ECO) naturally provides attributes for socially responsible investment products, and for fulfilling institutional mandates. The Index has innovation, independence, transparency, technical excellence and diversification built in.

WILDERHILL NEW ENERGY GLOBAL INNOVATION INDEX (NEX)
In early 2006 and together with partners New Energy Finance based in London, and Josh Landess based in the U.S., we launched the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index (NEX) to track the important companies in clean energy worldwide, but that are mainly traded outside the United States. More than half the stocks in NEX are generally listed on exchanges outside the U.S.: hence there is significant non-correlation with ECO. NEX tracks opportunities in clean energy in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas and elsewhere; it is a product of WilderHill New Energy Finance, LLC.
The WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index (NEX) is comprised of companies worldwide whose innovative technologies and services focus on generation and use of cleaner energy, conservation, efficiency and advancing renewable energy generally. Included are companies whose lower-carbon approaches are relevant to climate change, and whose technologies help reduce emissions relative to traditional fossil fuel use. The NEX is the first and leading Global Index for clean, alternative and renewable energy. Together with ECO that focuses on stocks listed in the U.S, we arguably now cover clean energy worldwide.
