Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ESGDAiShares ESG Aware MSCI EAFE ETF

UMMAFWahed Dow Jones Islamic World ETF

In short

ESGD The plain-vanilla international index fund, ESG-screened. Roughly 400 developed-market stocks from outside the US and Canada, tracking an MSCI EAFE ESG Focus index since 2016, for 0.20% a year.

UMMA Faith-based investing with a passport. UMMA screens international stocks against Dow Jones Islamic Market rules, so Shariah compliance and non-US equity exposure arrive in a single ticker.

Stated mandate

ESGD The fund seeks to track an index of international developed-market stocks outside the United States and Canada that have positive aggregate environmental, social, and governance characteristics.

UMMA The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • ESGD Costs 0.20% a year, below the typical fee in its international ESG peer group.
  • Roughly 400 stocks spanning developed markets outside the US and Canada: broad-market coverage, not a narrow thematic bet.ishares.com
  • Tracks the MSCI EAFE Extended ESG Focus Index, keeping the familiar developed-markets shape while tilting toward companies with better aggregate ESG characteristics.ishares.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund trading since 2016, and one of the sturdier builds in its peer group.
  • UMMA The Shariah screen is the product, not a bolt-on: the portfolio is anchored to the Dow Jones Islamic Market International Titans 100 Index.
  • At 0.65%, it undercuts the median fee among global active equity funds, and it sits in the upper half of that peer group on our review.
  • Wide net for one holding: roughly 110 stocks across developed, emerging and frontier markets outside the US, with cash paid out quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • ESGD Cheaper tickets exist on the same shelf: VSGX at 0.10%, iShares' own DMXF at 0.12%. The fee here buys scale, not the lowest sticker.
  • The ESG screen leaves holdings different from a plain EAFE fund, so results can drift from the unscreened index in either direction.
  • Moderately traded rather than one of the busiest tapes in the category, and distributions land once or twice a year rather than monthly.
  • UMMA Thinly traded. Spreads and limit orders matter more here than with the heavyweights of the global-equity aisle.
  • Unscreened global funds go cheaper: GSWO runs 0.15% and DFAW 0.24%. The faith screen and active management are what the extra fee buys.
  • Roughly 110 names, so single stocks and sectors swing the fund more than they would in a thousand-stock world index.
