About
This UCITS ETF, Amundi CAC 40 ESG - DR, is designed to closely track the performance of the CAC 40 ESG Index (Net Total Return Index). It offers investors access to 40 prominent French equities, chosen from the CAC Large 60 index, that exhibit robust Environmental, Social, and Governance credentials. The fund's methodology aims to achieve a smaller weighted carbon footprint and an enhanced 'green-to-brown' ratio. Furthermore, it strictly excludes companies involved in contentious sectors such as controversial weaponry, civilian firearms, thermal coal extraction, coal-fired power generation, tar sands and oil, and tobacco. Each underlying constituent is weighted based on its free-float-adjusted market capitalization, with an individual cap of 10%. Comprehensive details can be found in the Key Information Document (KID) and the fund's official prospectus.
