The new equity ETFs allow investors to invest in the performance of companies from the S&P 500 Index that meet strict sustainability criteria for the first time.
The S&P 500 ESG Index tracks 75 percent of the market capitalisation of the S&P 500 Index and includes U.S. equity companies that have a particularly high rating compared to their competitors in the areas of environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance.
The index is weighted by market capitalisation.
Investors can choose between a distributing and an accumulating share class.
