Our read on CHGX
CMost ESG funds keep the S&P 500's shape and shave the edges. CHGX starts over: a fossil-fuel-free US large-cap index of roughly 100 names, each weighted about the same, so no mega-cap runs the show.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Change Finance Diversified Impact U.S. Large Cap Fossil Fuel Free Index.
Why people hold it
- The fossil fuel exclusion is written into the index itself, not layered on as a tilt: it tracks the Change Finance Diversified Impact U.S. Large Cap Fossil Fuel Free Index.
- Equal weighting spreads roughly 100 US large caps evenly, so the portfolio does not lean on a handful of trillion-dollar names the way cap-weighted ESG funds like ESGV and EFIV do.
- Live since 2017, with the same fossil-free mandate spelled out in its filings and a portfolio that closely matches it.
Worth knowing
- At 0.49% a year it runs about double the 0.25% cohort median, and the broad ESG index giants (XVV at 0.08%, ESGV at 0.09%) charge a fraction of that.
- Thinly traded, which usually means wider bid-ask spreads and more price impact on big orders. Limit orders are the standard tool here.
- Equal weight plus a fossil-fuel screen means results can diverge widely from the S&P 500 in both directions, especially when mega-cap tech or energy leads.
