About this ETF
This exchange-traded fund (ETF) aims to replicate the investment performance of the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Choice Index. It builds its portfolio from a broad selection of international companies, spanning large, mid, and small market capitalizations, with individual holdings weighted by their market value. The fund employs a passively managed, index-sampling strategy, meticulously applying environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) screens to its holdings. It systematically excludes businesses involved in sectors such as adult entertainment, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and gambling. Additionally, it steers clear of companies linked to controversial weapons, including chemical and biological weapons, cluster munitions, anti-personnel landmines, nuclear weapons, conventional military systems, and civilian firearms. The fund also eschews companies significantly involved in nuclear power generation or those with substantial ties to fossil fuels, encompassing coal, oil, and natural gas. Beyond these industry-specific exclusions, the ETF filters out companies that fail to meet stringent standards for labor practices, human rights, environmental stewardship, and anti-corruption protocols. Furthermore, it avoids entities that do not satisfy specific diversity benchmarks, specifically those failing to meet at least two of the following diversity indicators: the presence of at least one woman on their board of directors, the establishment of clear diversity policies, and the implementation of diversity management systems. FTSE's rigorous index methodology evaluates prospective holdings based on their degree of involvement, revenue thresholds, and the precise nature of their operations within the excluded categories. This comprehensive screening spans all dimensions of prohibited activities, from direct production and distribution within entertainment or vice industries, to extraction, refining, transportation, and power generation across the fossil fuel sector, and the manufacturing or supply of components for various controversial weapons. FTSE's proprietary analytical framework assesses these intricate factors, including the severity of any controversies, to ensure the precise and nuanced application of its exclusion rules, recognizing that criteria may vary based on the specific activity or industry segment.

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.
