Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG UCITS ETF 1C

Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the MSCI USA Low Carbon SRI Leaders Index, focusing on large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks with superior environmental, social, and governance (ESG) characteristics. This index, derived from the parent MSCI USA Index, selects companies exhibiting high ESG ratings relative to sector peers, low current and potential carbon emissions, and reduced transition risks through a 'best-in-class' approach targeting 50% of each sector's market cap. It applies strict criteria including low carbon emissions rules and exclusions for controversial activities, ensuring lower carbon exposure compared to the broader market. The ETF employs full physical replication by holding all or most index constituents, with dividends reinvested (accumulating structure), and maintains a low total expense ratio of 0.15% p.a. Classified under Article 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, it promotes environmental and social characteristics without sustainable investment objectives. With significant assets under management exceeding 8 billion, this ETF plays a key role in offering investors targeted exposure to sustainable U.S. equities, emphasizing climate transition and responsible governance practices.
