FEDMANorthern Trust ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core ETF

In short

EFFI No data

FEDM Northern Trust writes the index and runs the fund: a developed-ex-US core holding screened on its own ESG and climate scoring, at 0.12% net of a waiver through March 1, 2027.

Stated mandate

EFFI No data

FEDM The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Northern Trust ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index.

Why people hold it

EFFI No data

  • FEDM At 0.12% net of a waiver through March 1, 2027, it sits at the low end of its peer group, matching DMXF (0.12%) and undercutting ESGD (0.20%).
  • Optimized, not just screened: the index limits how far any stock, sector or region can drift from its developed-ex-US parent, so it still behaves like core foreign equity.flexshares.com
  • Northern Trust scores companies on its own ESG Vector Score instead of licensing a third party ratings index, and manages the fund in-house.flexshares.com
  • Roughly 300 large and mid-cap names across developed markets outside the US, paid out quarterly.flexshares.com

Worth knowing

EFFI No data

  • FEDM Thinly traded next to the category giants, so spreads can widen. Limit orders matter more here than with the household-name alternatives.
  • The 0.12% is net of a waiver through March 1, 2027; the gross fee is 0.16%, so the discount depends on that waiver being extended.
  • ESG and climate screens change what it owns versus a plain developed-ex-US index, so results can drift from the broad market in either direction.sec.gov
