iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF USD (Acc)

iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF USD (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund domiciled in Ireland and launched on July 11, 2016. It seeks to deliver a total return, combining capital growth and income, that mirrors the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets SRI Select Reduced Fossil Fuel Index. This benchmark focuses on companies from emerging markets that meet stringent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, excluding those involved in controversial activities such as fossil fuels, weapons, tobacco, and other sectors deemed unsustainable. As an accumulating ETF, it reinvests dividends back into the fund rather than distributing them, enhancing compounding effects for investors. With assets under management exceeding 3 billion euros and over 200 holdings, the fund provides diversified exposure to sustainable equities in regions like Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Traded in USD, it remains unhedged against currency fluctuations, introducing exchange rate risks alongside the inherent volatility of emerging markets. iShares MSCI EM SRI UCITS ETF USD (Acc) plays a key role in enabling investors to access ESG-aligned emerging market equities within a UCITS-compliant structure, emphasizing transparency and responsible investment principles.
