New iShares ETFs on Xetra: Companies from different regions focus on sustainability
New iShares ETFs on Xetra: Companies from different regions focus on sustainability
Since Tuesday five new Exchange Traded Funds from iShares are tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
With the equity ETFs, investors can participate in the performance of various MSCI indices on a regional or global level, which are grouped according to sustainability criteria. The benchmark indices exclude companies related to weapons, tobacco cultivation or generating revenues from coal or oil. Companies that violate the UN Global Compact principles or do not have an ESG ranking are also excluded from the indices. The weighting of the companies in the individual indices is based on their ESG ratings and CO2 emissions.
The five investment regions are the USA, Japan, Europe, the EU countries and the global MSCI World index.
The new asset classes of the ETFs apply a distributive appropriation of earnings.
