Our read on FEUS
AMost ESG large-cap funds rent an index and screen the S&P 500. FEUS is built in-house end to end: Northern Trust's own 600-stock universe, its own SASB-aligned ESG score, its own climate data, at a 0.10% fee.
The fund seeks results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the Northern Trust ESG & Climate US Large Cap Core Index.
Why people hold it
- Vertically integrated: the universe, the ESG Vector Score (built to align with SASB materiality standards) and the fund itself all come from Northern Trust.flexshares.comflexshares.com
- Climate is a separate lever, not a footnote: carbon emissions intensity, carbon reserves and carbon risk ratings sit alongside the ESG ranking and conduct-based exclusions.flexshares.comflexshares.com
- At 0.10%, it costs well under the typical fund in its ESG US large-cap group, where 0.25% is the middle of the pack.
- The screens actually bite: about 130 names drawn from a 600-stock parent index, with sector, industry and turnover constraints applied to keep risk near that parent.flexshares.com
Worth knowing
- One of the quieter tickers in its group and smaller by assets, so execution style matters more here than with the mega ESG funds.
- About 130 holdings, not 500, and the fund samples its index rather than holding it whole, so returns can wander from plain US large cap.flexshares.com
- Not the outright cheapest lane: XVV (0.08%) and KLMN (0.09%) shave a basis point or two off it.
