Our read on EGUS
BMost ESG funds live in the middle of the market. EGUS moves the screen into the growth style box: it starts from MSCI's US large- and mid-cap growth universe, then optimizes toward better-rated ESG names while targeting risk and return close to the unscreened parent index.
The Fund seeks to track an index of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization equities with growth characteristics and positive environmental, social and governance characteristics.
Why people hold it
- Not a bolt-on. The index is built by optimizing the MSCI USA Growth parent for ESG exposure while aiming to keep risk and return characteristics similar to it.msci.com
- Hard exclusions, not vibes: tobacco, controversial weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal and oil sands are ineligible for the index.msci.com
- 0.18% a year buys the screen plus standard iShares index plumbing. Roughly 90 large- and mid-cap growth names, with distributions paid quarterly.ishares.com
- A 2023 launch that does exactly what the label says: US growth, ESG-screened, index-tracked, with the objective spelled out in the registration statement.
Worth knowing
- Small and thinly traded next to the big growth trackers, so bid-ask spreads can run wider and large orders need more care.
- Unscreened growth trackers charge far less (VUG at 0.03%, SCHG at 0.04%) than this fund's 0.18%. The ESG optimizer is what the extra buys.
- Roughly 90 names, and the optimizer can leave out growth companies you'd expect to see, so returns can drift from a plain growth index in either direction.msci.com
