Our read on EFIV
AA screened S&P 500 that still looks like one. EFIV trims to about 300 names on ESG criteria but holds industry-group weights close to the parent index, for 0.10% a year.
The Fund seeks to track an index of securities selected using environmental, social, and governance sustainability criteria while retaining industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500 Index.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.10% a year, well under the 0.25% typical of its values-screened peer group.
- Keeps industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500, so the screen changes which names you own more than which sectors.
- Tracks its declared index very tightly, one of the cleaner implementations in its cohort.
- Straightforward 1940 Act index fund from SPDR, running since 2020, distributing quarterly.
Worth knowing
- About 300 stocks, not 500. The screens remove names, so results can diverge from the headline S&P 500.
- Cheaper shelf-mates exist: XVV at 0.08% and ESGV at 0.09% undercut it on fee.
- Mid-size asset base and moderate trading volume, which can mean wider spreads than the mega-cap index giants.
