About this ETF
The iShares ESG Aware MSCI EAFE ETF is engineered to replicate the investment performance of a specific index. This benchmark comprises shares of large and medium-sized companies operating in developed economies, deliberately excluding those based in the United States and Canada. A core principle for inclusion is the demonstration of favorable environmental, social, and governance (ESG) attributes, as defined by the index's creator. Furthermore, the ETF strives to maintain a risk and return profile that closely aligns with its standard, non-ESG counterpart index.

Latest News for ESGD
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days; showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
