Each stock is held in proportion to its weighting within the index, ensuring that the ETF mirrors the index’s composition and performance.
The index tracked by the ETF is a market-capitalization weighted benchmark that includes a diverse range of large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks of U.S. companies. The index is specifically designed to reflect companies that meet stringent ESG standards as determined by the independent index sponsor. This screening process evaluates companies based on various ESG criteria, such as environmental impact, social responsibility, and corporate governance practices, thereby aligning the ETF with sustainable investment goals.
