Asset Managers Are Now Investing in Once-Shunned Nuclear Stocks

-- Fund managers are betting that nuclear energy, an area traditionally off-bounds for investors with environmental mandates, is set to make a comeback.Robeco Institutional Asset Management, J O Hambro Capital Management and Janus Henderson Investors are among firms that see a role for stocks exposed to nuclear energy in their portfolios, according to representatives interviewed by Bloomberg.

In the European Union, heavy lobbying from France helped get nuclear into the bloc’s so-called green taxonomy back in 2022. Lancastle has held shares of uranium miner Cameco Corp. since the first quarter of 2022. The stock is up about 80% since the start of that year. At the same time, the EU’s 2022 decision to include nuclear energy in its green taxonomy drew a barrage of criticism from environmental groups. Concerns include how to treat the radioactive waste generated by nuclear plants, which can take thousands of years to break down. Another worry is that nuclear technologies that fall into the wrong hands can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.
