Our read on ETHO
CMost ESG funds lead with exclusions. ETHO leads with the carbon math, ranking companies against their own industry on emissions, then spreading it across roughly 300 U.S. names. A 2015-vintage climate fund that stayed one.
ETHO seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Etho Climate Leadership Index–US. The passive fund generally invests at least 80% of net assets in index securities representing diversified U.S. companies selected for lower industry-relative carbon impact and ESG criteria.
Why people hold it
- Selection starts with carbon impact measured against industry peers, not just headline exclusions, and lands in a diversified basket of roughly 300 U.S. companies.amplifyetfs.com
- Rules-based and literal: a passive fund keeping at least 80% of net assets in its named index, the Etho Climate Leadership Index-US. The label and the portfolio line up.
- Trading since 2015, early for a climate-screened U.S. equity ETF, with a record now spanning several full market cycles.
- Roughly 300 holdings keeps single names from dominating, one of the broader portfolios among U.S. ESG equity funds.
Worth knowing
- At 0.45% a year, it runs well above the ESG index crowd: Vanguard's ESGV charges 0.09% and iShares' XVV 0.08%.
- Thinly traded next to the mega-cap ESG names, so bid/ask spreads can be wider and large orders move the price more.
- Cash comes back once or twice a year, not monthly.
