DSIBiShares ESG MSCI KLD 400 ETF

EFIVAState Street SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF

In short

DSI One of the longest-running ESG ETFs in the US. Since 2006 it has tracked MSCI's KLD 400 Social Index: about 400 American companies chosen on ESG ratings, with specified controversial businesses screened out.

EFIV A screened S&P 500 that still looks like one. EFIV trims to about 300 names on ESG criteria but holds industry-group weights close to the parent index, for 0.10% a year.

Stated mandate

DSI The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. all-cap companies with comparatively favorable environmental, social, and governance ratings, while excluding companies involved in specified controversial activities.

EFIV The Fund seeks to track an index of securities selected using environmental, social, and governance sustainability criteria while retaining industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500 Index.

Why people hold it

DSI A real screen, not a light dusting. The index selects roughly 400 US companies on comparatively favorable ESG ratings and excludes those involved in specified controversial activities.ishares.com
Launched in 2006, it has run through multiple market cycles and the whole rise and cooling of ESG investing. Very few screened equity funds have that tenure.
A multi-billion-dollar iShares fund that has stayed close to its stated index rather than drifting from the mandate, and it pays out quarterly.

EFIV Charges 0.10% a year, well under the 0.25% typical of its values-screened peer group.
Keeps industry-group weights broadly similar to the S&P 500, so the screen changes which names you own more than which sectors.
Tracks its declared index very tightly, one of the cleaner implementations in its cohort.
Straightforward 1940 Act index fund from SPDR, running since 2020, distributing quarterly.

Worth knowing

DSI The 0.25% expense ratio matches the group median but sits above cheaper screened rivals such as ESGV (0.09%) and XVV (0.08%).
About 400 names plus industry exclusions means real sector tilts, so it can move differently from a full US market fund for long stretches.
ESG ratings are MSCI's assessments, not fixed rules. What makes the cut can change as the index reconstitutes, so holdings turn over on someone else's judgment.

EFIV About 300 stocks, not 500. The screens remove names, so results can diverge from the headline S&P 500.
Cheaper shelf-mates exist: XVV at 0.08% and ESGV at 0.09% undercut it on fee.
Mid-size asset base and moderate trading volume, which can mean wider spreads than the mega-cap index giants.
