Our read on USCA
AThe largest US ETF debut on record when it launched in 2023, seeded by a Finnish pension fund. It owns roughly 400 US large- and mid-caps, keeping only the top half of each sector on MSCI's climate-transition scoring, for 0.07% a year.
The fund seeks to track the MSCI USA Climate Action Index before fees and expenses through a passive indexing strategy. The index selects U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies assessed as leading sector peers in climate-transition positioning and actions.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.07% a year against a typical screened US equity peer near 0.28%, and undercuts bigger ESG names like SUSA at 0.25%.
- No blanket sector bans: the index keeps the top 50% of companies in each GICS sector, so energy and industrials stay in, represented by their climate-transition leaders.etf.dws.commsci.com
- Rules do the picking. MSCI's climate metrics, ESG ratings and controversy screens set the roster; no manager discretion, no stock-by-stock calls.etf.dws.com
- A multi-billion-dollar fund with an institutional anchor investor from day one, and it pays quarterly.businesswire.com
Worth knowing
- Half of each sector is screened out, so results can drift from a plain MSCI USA index fund in either direction.etf.dws.com
- Market-cap weighted and filed as non-diversified, so America's largest companies carry heavy weight at the top.etf.dws.com
- Moderately traded next to the giants of US equity, so spreads can be a bigger part of the cost of getting in and out.
