With the final index calculation of the year, the NatH2 Index is up 23.9%, outperforming both the Nasdaq Composite (~22%) and the MSCI World Index (~21%).
Admittedly, it’s a close call—but the NatH2 Index also clearly outpaced the Russell 2000 (US small caps, ~15%) and the STOXX Europe 600 (~15%).

Most importantly, this performance highlights that meaningful investor returns are already possible in the Natural Hydrogen industry, even at this early stage. One can only speculate how the sector—and the index—might react to a future announcement of a commercial discovery of natural hydrogen.

As shown in the chart, the NatH2 Index reflects the expected volatility of a nascent industry, currently dominated by small-cap resource companies. The index also masks significant dispersion beneath the surface: some constituents are up more than 500%, while others are down 50%.
None of this was obvious at the beginning of the year. This highlights two key points:

💰 Substantially higher returns may be achieved by correctly identifying the winners, and
⚖️ There is clear value in a portfolio or index-based approach, offering broad exposure to an emerging industry.

Of course, investors with perfect foresight could have done even better—critical minerals (~80%) or gold (~70%) stand out this year. Even so, ending the year ahead of major global indices should be seen as encouraging. It signals growing investor interest in natural hydrogen and supports the case that competitive, market-level returns are possible, even this early in the industry’s lifecycle.

We will, of course, continue to monitor the market closely.
