Our read on SUSL
AESG with a tighter filter: roughly 300 U.S. large and mid caps that out-score their own sector rivals on ESG, wrapped in an iShares index fund charging one tenth of one percent a year.
The fund tracks an index of U.S. large- and mid-cap companies selected for high ESG characteristics relative to sector peers, providing exposure to higher ESG-rated companies across sectors.
Why people hold it
- 0.10% a year, well under half the typical fee among U.S. ESG stock funds. Strict screening at plain-index pricing.
- Best-in-class build: names are picked for ESG strength against their own sector peers, so the fund keeps broad sector shape instead of dropping whole industries.ishares.com
- Sits in the upper half of its ESG cohort, and the portfolio hews tightly to the strict mandate on the tin rather than drifting toward the plain market.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to the headline ESG funds, so spreads can run wider. Order size and timing matter more here.
- Sector-relative scoring means no industry is barred outright: an energy or mining name can qualify by out-scoring its own peers.
- A few peers undercut the fee, including XVV at 0.08% and ESGV at 0.09%.
