Amundi MSCI EMU ESG Leaders

ETF description

This ETF is designed to follow the performance of a group of large and medium‑sized companies from countries that use the euro as their currency. The companies included in the fund are chosen based on how well they score on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors compared to their industry peers. This means the fund aims to invest in businesses that demonstrate stronger performance in areas such as environmental impact, working conditions, and corporate responsibility.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are interested in European companies but also want their investments to reflect certain ethical or sustainability values.
