The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. companies 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 USA Extended ESG Focus Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of U.S. large- and mid-cap companies screened for favorable environmental, social and governance characteristics and excluded for involvement in tobacco, controversial weapons, civilian firearms, and certain fossil fuel activities. The index is constructed to maintain risk and return characteristics similar to the broader MSCI USA Index while achieving an ESG score at least 10% better than the parent index. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index it seeks to track.
