HSBC Japan Screened Equity UCITS ETF USD

HSBC Japan Screened Equity UCITS ETF USD is an exchange-traded fund focusing on Japanese equities with a strong emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The fund is designed to replicate the FTSE Japan ESG Low Carbon Select Index, which includes large and mid-cap companies from Japan that meet strict ESG standards and actively reduces exposure to carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption by 50%, compared to its broader parent index. This ETF excludes sectors such as weapons, thermal coal, tobacco, nuclear power, and companies not compliant with United Nations Global Compact principles. Using physical full replication, the fund holds all the securities in the underlying index, and dividends are accumulated and reinvested. Its risk profile is influenced by the relatively high volatility typical of Japanese equity markets. HSBC Japan Screened Equity UCITS ETF USD provides investors with a transparent and sustainability-oriented vehicle for accessing the Japanese stock market, serving both individuals and institutions seeking to incorporate ESG factors and low-carbon strategies into their portfolios.
