What Are Coal ETFs?
While there are no ETFs that offer exposure to physical coal that is extracted from the ground, there are multiple choices for those looking to bet on the coal industry. Coal ETFs include:
- Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL)
- PowerShares Global Coal Portfolio (PKOL)
Both of these ETFs maintain a global focus, investing in both U.S. and international stocks. Components include coal mining and production companies, mining equipment manufacturers, power generation companies, and entities engaged in coal technology and coal transportation.
