About
This ETF seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Select Screened Index (NTR, USD). This index is composed of major and medium-sized companies operating in specific Asian emerging markets. The index applies rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screening criteria, leading to the exclusion of certain companies. These include entities associated with controversial weapons, those receiving an MSCI ESG Rating of 'CCC' or being unrated, and companies that derive a notable portion of their income from tobacco, conventional weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, unconventional and/or arctic oil and gas extraction, or palm oil. Furthermore, any issuer with an MSCI Controversies Score of zero is also omitted. A key feature of this index is its lower greenhouse gas intensity when compared to its broader, unscreened counterpart. The index's composition is thoroughly reviewed and adjusted on a quarterly basis. More extensive details on the index's construction, selection process, and weighting methodology can be found on the MSCI website at https://www.msci.com.
