The ETFs were listed on Xetra in euros and US dollars. This action is part of the Crédit Agricole Group’s Social Project and its commitment to the climate.

Amundi Global AGG SRI – UCITS ETF DR replicates the Bloomberg MSCI Global Aggregate 500MM ex Securitized Sustainable SRI Sector Neutral Index with a current fee of 0.14%. This bond fund invests in 12,000 investment grade corporate and government bonds issued by over 1,200 issuers worldwide.

The index replicated by the ETF strictly excludes issuers involved in controversial activities and selects 80% of the bonds with the highest ESG score from the Bloomberg Global Aggregate 500MM ex Securitized Index.

The Amundi MSCI AC Far East Ex Japan ESG Leaders Select – UCITS ETF DR is an equity ETF that replicates the MSCI AC Far East Ex Japan ESG Leaders Select 5% Issuer Capped Index with a current fee of 0.25%. It is the first sustainable ETF to give investors exposure to a selection of two developed equity markets (excluding Japan) and seven emerging markets in the Far East region.

The ETF is broadly diversified across nearly 400 stocks and the ESG approach of the index is based on an exclusion filter and a selection of the top 50% of companies with ESG scores from the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index.

Both ETFs are classified under art. 8 of the European SFDR Regulation.
