Xtrackers MSCI Europe ESG UCITS ETF

Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:

Objectives and investment policy

The fund is passively managed.

Investment Objective: The aim is for your investment to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Europe Low Carbon SRI Leaders Index (index). 

Description of Index: The index is based on the MSCI Europe Index (Parent Index). The index includes companies  from the Parent Index which display high environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance relative to their peers.

ESG Criteria: Constituent selection is based on three sets of rules: Firstly, the Low Carbon Transition Risk Assessment Rules and High ESG Performance Selection Rules are applied simultaneously, followed by the Low Carbon Emissions Rules. The index targets companies with high ESG Ratings relative to sector peers by targeting 50% of the market cap within each sector of the Parent Index, with the remaining stocks excluded (effectively a “best-in class” approach). The ESG Criteria comprise the PAB Exclusions.  Remaining securities are then weighted by their market cap and are subject to a relative weight cap against their weight in the Parent Index.

ESG Criteria Limitations:  The company is solely relying on the activities conducted and information provided by the index administrator for the ESG screening. ESG information may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable and the index administrator may incorrectly assess, include or exclude, a security or issuer.
