The fund seeks to maintain the same risk and return as the index, which takes from a universe of large- and mid-cap stocks in developed markets within Europe and Asia-Pacific. The index applies an exclusionary screening based on an ESG risk rating by Sustainalytics, a UNGC score by Arabesque, and an S&P DJI ESG Score by SAM. A company is excluded if it is involved in tobacco, thermal coal, and controversial weapons or has a UNGC score in the bottom 5% of all UNGC-scored companies globally. The remaining companies are weighted by S&P DJI ESG Score within their GICS sector or industry group. An ESG tilt scaling factor is incorporated in the S&P DJI ESG score. The index rebalances and reconstitutes annually.
