About
This Invesco Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) seeks to replicate the net total return of the MSCI USA Universal Select Business Screens Index, net of fees. The underlying index targets large and mid-capitalisation US companies, employing an investment methodology that adjusts constituent weightings according to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Its objective is to enhance exposure to firms exhibiting both robust ESG characteristics and a positive trend in their ESG development. The index's construction begins with the MSCI USA Index, from which several types of securities are excluded: those lacking an MSCI ESG assessment; companies involved in significant ESG controversies over the preceding three years; those with an MSCI ESG Rating of 'CCC'; and businesses engaged in specific contentious sectors like controversial, conventional, or nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, oil sands, thermal coal, tobacco, or recreational cannabis. Subsequently, each remaining eligible company is assigned a consolidated ESG score. This score incorporates both the security's current ESG rating and the observable change in that rating over time. This combined ESG score then determines the re-weighting of these eligible securities within the index. The fund aims to fulfill its objective primarily by physically purchasing and holding, to the greatest extent possible, all the securities within the Reference Index in their respective proportions. Its portfolio is rebalanced to align with changes in the Reference Index, which itself undergoes semi-annual reviews and adjustments. This ETF operates under a passive management strategy, tracking its specified index. An investment in this fund represents a purchase of units in an index-tracking vehicle, rather than direct ownership of the underlying assets it holds.

Is ESGS a UCITS ETF?
Yes. Invesco MSCI USA Universal Screened UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland, set up under the European Union's UCITS rules for funds sold across Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment and trades in GBP.

Is ESGS subject to US estate tax?
No. Because ESGS is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it. US-listed ETFs held directly can be taxed at up to 40% above $60,000 when they pass to your family.
How are US dividends taxed inside ESGS?
The US withholds 15% on dividends from the US shares the fund holds, and that tax is paid inside the fund. You cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
How are gains on ESGS taxed in India?
Units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation; units held for 24 months or less are taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is worked out in rupees, so the currency move counts.
How has ESGS performed?
ESGS' price is up 17.9% over the past year and up 82.8% over five years. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is ESGS different from a US-listed ETF?
ESGS is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US. That keeps it outside US estate tax, and dividend withholding on its US shares is 15%, paid inside the fund, instead of the 25% withheld on a US-listed ETF. The 25% can generally be claimed as a credit in India; the 15% cannot. Capital gains on both are taxed the same way in India.
