What was once a highflyer in 2020, is now a slumping underperformer. The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) has fallen by more than 20% in 2021 after delivering roughly 140% in positive return in 2020 and outperforming the S&P 500 by almost 9 times during the same period.

This year's downturn can be attributed to two reasons. One, investors may have decided to take out their profits following the amazing 2020 run, causing this major correction. Two, the fossil fuels resurgence as economies reopen is simply irresistible for investors to pass on, especially with the 50% increase in Oil prices this year.
