The state of Texas is known for having a strong economy, with a GDP larger than all but seven countries. It has experienced significant population growth and is a top exporting state and destination for foreign direct investment. Texas is home to numerous Fortune 500 companies and has been ranked highly by CEOs for its business climate, workforce, and quality of life. While some may not appreciate certain aspects of Texas, such as its climate or social services, there are investment opportunities available in the state, including an exchange-traded fund that tracks Texas-listed businesses. The fund is diversified and includes companies such as Tesla, McKesson, and Charles Schwab. Texas is also diversifying away from fossil fuels and has a significant presence in renewable energy.
