Overview
Description
The Xtrackers MSCI World ESG Screened UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide broad exposure to large and mid-cap companies across 23 developed markets. Its primary function is to replicate the performance of the MSCI World Select ESG Screened Index, which draws from the MSCI World Index but applies rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screens. This means the fund excludes companies involved in areas such as weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands, and those not compliant with the UN Global Compact, thereby aligning with responsible investment principles.
By focusing on ESG criteria, the ETF seeks to represent a globally diversified portfolio that appeals to investors prioritizing sustainability in tandem with market performance. It uses a physical replication method, holding the underlying equities directly. The fund plays a significant role in the growing market for sustainable investment products, offering a transparent and cost-efficient way for investors to gain access to ESG-focused global equities without exposure to excluded sectors.
