A climate ETF started by a group of major financial institutions is set to close after less than a year because none of the backers pitched in with anticipated funding.

The Impact Shares MSCI Global Climate Select ETF (ticker NTZO) launched in November at the United Nations’ COP26 summit in Glasgow, and since then has accumulated only about $3 million of assets.
