New BNP Paribas Easy equity ETFs on Xetra: access to sustainable US companies from the S&P 500 index with a best-in-class approach
Since Tuesday, two new exchange-traded funds issued by BNP Paribas Easy have been tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt.
The two BNP Paribas Easy S&P 500 ESG UCITS ETFs offer investors access to the largest US companies in the S&P 500 index by market capitalisation, which have a particularly high ESG rating in the areas of environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance compared to their peers. The best-in-class approach is used in the selection process in order to achieve a similar sector group weighting as in the parent index.
Companies involved in business activities such as weapons, thermal coal or tobacco, as well as those that violate the principles of the United Nations Global Compact or are involved in ESG controversies, are excluded.
There are two share classes available to investors: While the BNP Paribas Easy S&P 500 ESG UCITS ETF - Capitalisation can be traded in US dollars, the BNP Paribas Easy S&P 500 ESG UCITS ETF - EUR Capitalisation minimises exchange rate fluctuations against the trading currency euro.
