Xtrackers MSCI AC World ESG Screened
Global Companies
Details
ETF description
This ETF provides access to a diverse range of companies from developed and emerging markets worldwide, focusing on firms that meet specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. It aims to replicate the performance of an index that excludes businesses involved in certain activities such as fossil fuels, weapons production, and tobacco. Additionally, it filters out companies that do not adhere to global standards for sustainability and ethical practices.
Investors seeking broad global exposure while maintaining a commitment to sustainability may find this ETF appealing. Its portfolio includes companies from various industries and regions, offering an opportunity to participate in global economic growth while aligning with responsible investing principles. The screening process ensures that the companies included meet predefined ESG standards, which might exclude some traditional market players found in broader global indices.
