Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large- and mid-capitalization emerging market equities that have positive environmental, social and governance characteristics as identified by the index provider while exhibiting risk and return characteristics similar to those of the parent index.
The fund tracks the MSCI Emerging Markets Extended ESG Focus Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of securities that collectively mirrors the index's investment profile rather than all constituents. The index begins with large- and mid-cap emerging market equities, excludes companies involved in tobacco, controversial weapons, civilian firearms, and certain fossil fuel activities, then optimizes remaining holdings to maximize ESG ratings while maintaining risk and return characteristics similar to the parent MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index components, its returns may diverge from the index it seeks to track.
