DSIBiShares ESG MSCI KLD 400 ETF

SNPEAXtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened 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.

SNPE The S&P 500 with roughly 200 names screened out, for 0.10% a year. SNPE keeps the plumbing of a plain core index fund and lets S&P's rules, not a stock picker, decide who stays in the basket.

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.

SNPE The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its underlying 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.

SNPE A 0.10% expense ratio puts it in the cheap seats of the screened-index crowd, alongside XVV (0.08%) and ESGV (0.09%) and well under the group's typical fee.
Plain index plumbing: it aims to match the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index before fees, and it has hugged that mandate closely.
Roughly 300 stocks, so the screen actually bites. Around 200 S&P 500 members are cut outright rather than quietly trimmed.
A multi-billion-dollar Xtrackers fund running since 2019 with steady daily volume and quarterly payouts. Not a thin, untested launch.

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.

SNPE Cutting ~200 names concentrates what's left. The megacap leaders of the parent index end up carrying even more weight here.
The screens are S&P's, not yours. They are rules-based and reapplied at each rebalance, so the roster can shift without warning.
Not the outright cheapest option in the group: XVV and ESGV shave a basis point or two off the fee.
