Our read on NULV

ETF.net Research

BMost ESG funds hand you the whole market with the worst offenders stripped out. NULV picks a lane: large-cap US value stocks that clear an ESG screen, tracking a TIAA index in a portfolio of roughly 100 names.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the TIAA ESG USA Large-Cap Value Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01A style-box slice, not a blend. It tracks the TIAA ESG USA Large-Cap Value Index, so the value tilt is the mandate rather than a byproduct of screening the market.
  2. 02Roughly 100 stocks instead of a screened S&P 500, so the value screen actually shows up in what you own.
  3. 03Trading since 2016 and now a billion-dollar-plus fund, so there is a real history here, not a launch-week ticker.
  4. 04Plain vanilla plumbing: a 1940 Act index ETF with no leverage, no derivatives overlay, nothing exotic to monitor. It lands in the upper half of its ESG peer group in our review.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.26% a year, it costs more than the broad ESG index trackers at the top of this group, several of which sit under 0.15%. That is the toll for the value screen.
  2. 02Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not quarterly or monthly.
  3. 03The ESG screen sets the universe before the value ranking happens, so the holdings can look different from a conventional large-cap value index.
