IndexIQ Factors Sustainable Europe Equity UCITS ETF

IndexIQ Factors Sustainable Europe Equity UCITS ETF is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to large and mid-cap European companies meeting stringent socially responsible investing (SRI) criteria incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The fund tracks the Solactive Candriam Factors Sustainable Europe Equity Index using a factor-based weighting methodology that emphasizes value, quality, and low volatility rather than traditional market capitalization weighting. This smart beta approach aims to capture European equity market growth while reducing exposure to overvalued or high-risk securities. The ETF holds approximately 259 diversified holdings across multiple sectors and employs full physical replication to match index performance. Domiciled in Luxembourg as a UCITS-compliant structure, it features an accumulating distribution policy that reinvests dividends to compound returns, along with a competitive total expense ratio of 0.25% per annum. The fund serves investors seeking sustainable, risk-aware access to European equities with disciplined factor-based selection criteria.
