New iShares ETFs on Xetra: Companies from different regions with focus on sustainability
Since Thursday 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 composed alternatively according to sustainability criteria. The reference indices exclude companies related to weapons and tobacco manufacturing or generate their income from power station coal or oil sand business. Companies that violate the UN Global Compact principles or do not have an ESG ranking are also removed 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.
