Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ESGDAiShares ESG Aware MSCI EAFE ETF

WWJDCInspire International 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.

WWJD The faith lane of international investing. Instead of ESG ratings, WWJD screens overseas large caps through Inspire's biblically responsible scorecard, then holds roughly 150 of them in equal slices, rebalanced quarterly.

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.

WWJD The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Inspire International Index before fees and expenses.

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.

WWJD The screen is the point: only companies with an Inspire Impact Score of zero or higher enter the index, a biblically responsible filter rather than a conventional ESG rating.usnews.com inspireetf.com
Equal weighting and quarterly rebalancing keep roughly 150 non-US large caps in similar-sized slices, so no single mega-cap runs the portfolio.inspireetf.com website-files.com
The mandate reaches emerging markets as well as developed ones, wider ground than the EAFE-only builds in the group (ESGD, DMXF).usnews.com
Rules first: holdings change when the index changes, not because the adviser soured on a stock's outlook. It has run on that same faith-screened index since launching in 2019.prnewswire.com

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.

WWJD At 0.61% a year it costs more than the group's typical fund (median 0.23%) and several times index rivals like VSGX at 0.10%.
A values screen narrows the opportunity set, so the portfolio can look and behave quite differently from a standard international index.website-files.com
Volume is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads can run wider than at the category's largest funds.
