This fund offers exposure to the US large and mid-cap equity market while incorporating specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screening criteria. It aims to track the performance of the MSCI USA ESG Screened 20-35 Custom Index. The investment strategy is designed for those seeking to align their portfolio with sustainability principles without forgoing broad market participation in one of the world's largest economies. By using physical replication, the fund holds the actual shares of the companies in the index, providing direct ownership of the underlying assets.

The underlying index employs a rules-based methodology to exclude companies involved in controversial activities. This includes businesses with significant revenue from controversial weapons, civilian firearms, tobacco, thermal coal, and oil sands. Furthermore, it filters out companies that are classified as violators of the United Nations Global Compact principles. The screening process ensures the portfolio is tilted towards companies with better ESG practices relative to their peers, while maintaining a sector and risk profile that is closely aligned with the parent MSCI USA Index. This approach offers a core equity holding that integrates a foundational layer of ethical considerations.

This investment vehicle is suitable for investors looking for a core allocation to US equities with an integrated ESG overlay. It can serve as a foundational building block in a diversified portfolio, providing exposure to a wide range of sectors within the US economy, from technology and healthcare to consumer discretionary and financials. The product is structured to be cost-efficient, making it an accessible option for long-term, buy-and-hold investors who prioritize both market returns and sustainable investing principles. The annual dividend distribution feature may also appeal to those seeking a potential income stream from their equity holdings.
