About this ETF
The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA Small-Cap ETF endeavors to mirror the investment performance of a specially constructed index. This benchmark is engineered to achieve returns comparable to a typical market-capitalization-weighted index composed of smaller U.S. companies. However, it differentiates itself by prioritizing and allocating a greater share of its investments to those firms demonstrating robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, as evaluated by the index's creator.

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.
