iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETFESGU Fund Description
ESGU tracks an index composed of US companies that have been selected and weighted for positive environmental, social, and governance characteristics.
ESGU Factset Analytics Insight
ESGU invests in companies with strong ESG traits, while maintaining an overall market-like portfolio. Companies in the broad MSCI USA Index are rated on risk factors related to environmental (carbon emissions, water use, toxic waste), social (labor management, health and safety, sourcing), and governance issues (corruption, fraud, anti-competitive practices). Portfolio optimization software is used to maximize the funds’ stake in highly rated companies while staying true to a market-like exposure. Additionally, the fund completely excludes tobacco companies, producers of certain weapons (landmines and bioweapons), and companies experiencing “severe business controversies.”ESGU is competitively priced for its exposure. However, a distinct lack of interest from investors makes the fund very difficult to trade at the retail level and significantly raises the risk of closure.Prior to June 1, 2018 the fund tracked the MSCI USA ESG Focus Index.
