Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

CVIEBCalvert International Responsible Index ETF

DMXFAiShares ESG Advanced MSCI EAFE ETF

In short

CVIE A responsible-investing take on developed markets outside the US, built on Calvert's own index rather than a licensed screen, for 0.18% a year. That is roughly half the typical fee in its peer group.

DMXF The strict one. Where iShares' ESG Aware EAFE fund screens five controversial businesses, DMXF screens fourteen, including the whole energy sector, and charges less than its lighter-screened sibling to do it.

Stated mandate

CVIE The Fund seeks to track the Calvert International Responsible Index. It uses passive indexing and invests primarily in securities represented by that index.

DMXF The fund seeks to track an index of developed-market equities outside the United States and Canada, while incorporating positive environmental, social, and governance characteristics.

Why people hold it

  • CVIE 0.18% a year: roughly half the typical fee among the international index funds we track, and level with unscreened GXUS.
  • The screen is in-house. It tracks the Calvert International Responsible Index, so the research and the fund come from the same shop, not a rented third-party benchmark.
  • Straightforward build: a registered 1940 Act fund that passively indexes developed-market stocks, with cash paid out quarterly.
  • Lands in the upper half of its international index-fund peer group on our review.
  • DMXF 0.12% a year, roughly half the typical fee among international ESG funds, and cheaper than the softer-screened iShares sibling ESGD at 0.20%.ishares.com
  • Fourteen business-involvement screens: fossil fuels, nuclear power and weapons, GMOs, palm oil, for-profit prisons, predatory lending, gambling, tobacco and more.ishares.com
  • The fossil fuel screen is categorical, not cosmetic: the index drops the entire GICS energy sector plus companies with industry ties such as thermal coal.blackrock.com
  • Sticks tightly to its MSCI EAFE Choice ESG Screened index, one of the stronger implementations among international ESG funds.

Worth knowing

  • CVIE Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so the spread and a limit order matter more here.
  • Developed markets only, and it opened in 2023: no emerging-market sleeve, and a short record to judge.
  • Cheap for a screened fund, but broad unscreened rivals go lower. VXUS charges 0.05%.
  • DMXF Deep exclusions mean real drift from plain EAFE. Sibling ESGD is built to keep risk and return close to the parent index; DMXF is not.ishares.comishares.com 2
  • About 400 stocks, a narrower slate than the unscreened parent index, so individual names and surviving sectors carry more weight.
  • Mid-sized and moderately traded rather than a category heavyweight, and distributions arrive once or twice a year rather than quarterly.
