Our read on CRBN

ETF.net Research

In short

BKeeps the whole world in the basket, then leans it away from carbon. CRBN tracks an MSCI ACWI index built for lower carbon exposure, with screens on thermal coal, oil sands and controversial weapons.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track global equities through an index designed to have lower carbon exposure than the broad market, while applying screens for controversial weapons, oil sands, and thermal coal mining.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.20% a year, well under the 0.45% median for its index-wrapper cohort. Cheap for a screened, optimized mandate.
  • Not a niche slice. Roughly 1,100 stocks worldwide, so the carbon tilt sits on top of a whole-world equity core.
  • The rulebook is named out loud: the MSCI ACWI Low Carbon Target Index, plus stated exclusions. Portfolio and mandate line up tightly, top quartile among its peers.ishares.com
  • Trading since 2014, a long tenure for a climate-screened index fund, and a multi-billion-dollar fund today.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded next to the household-name global index funds, so bid-ask spreads and order type matter more here.
  • The carbon tilt carries a price. VT wraps global stocks for 0.06%, roughly a third of the cost.
  • Cash comes back once or twice a year, not quarterly or monthly.
