ESGGBNorthern Trust STOXX Global ESG Select ETF

VSGXAVanguard ESG International Stock ETF

In short

ESGG A global ESG fund that picks and weights stocks on five countable checks (emissions targets, women on the board, independent directors, child-labor policy, golden parachutes) rather than one blended score, and it keeps US names in the mix.

VSGX Most ex-US ESG funds stop at big developed-market names. VSGX casts a wider net: large, mid and small caps across developed and emerging markets, minus the industries its index screens out, for 0.10% a year.

Stated mandate

ESGG The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the STOXX Global ESG Select KPIs Index.

VSGX The Fund seeks to track an index of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks from developed and emerging markets outside the United States, subject to environmental, social, and corporate-governance screening.

Why people hold it

ESGG Scope is the hook: global, US included, while most of this peer group (VSGX, ESGD, EFAX) stops at developed markets outside the US.flexshares.com
The index selects and weights on five concrete KPIs: a CDP emissions or energy reduction target, women on the board, independent directors, a child labor policy, and golden parachute agreements.stoxx.com
Exclusion screens sit on top: controversial weapons, thermal coal, tobacco, military contracting, small arms, oil sands, plus global standards and ESG controversy flags.stoxx.com
Live since 2016 and spread across roughly 700 stocks, so it reads as a broad core book rather than a concentrated ESG bet.

VSGX 0.10% a year, well under half the typical fee in its international ESG peer group. Vanguard's usual move: undercut the room.
Reaches past the usual EAFE box, holding thousands of stocks across developed and emerging markets. EAFE-based rivals like ESGD and DMXF cover developed large and mid caps only.msci.com
The screen is FTSE's rulebook, not Vanguard's opinion: out go fossil fuel reserves, weapons, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, adult entertainment and nuclear power, plus conduct flags.ftserussell.com
What survives the screen stays market-cap weighted, with no factor tilts or manager stock picks. Distributions land quarterly.lseg.com

Worth knowing

ESGG Costs 0.42% net of a waiver through March 1, 2027 (0.45% gross), above the category median and above VSGX at 0.10% and ESGD at 0.20%.
A smaller fund that trades thinly next to the category's giants, which can show up as wider spreads on the screen.
The screens are rules-based, not judgment calls: a company can clear all five KPIs and still sit on somebody's exclusion list.stoxx.com stoxx.com 2

VSGX Cutting oil, gas, coal, nuclear and weapons names removes whole slices of the market, so results can drift from a plain ex-US index in either direction.ftserussell.com
Emerging markets, small caps and foreign currency all ride along, which can mean wider swings than a developed large-cap-only ex-US fund.
It de-selects rather than rewards: clearing the screen isn't the same as being a sustainability leader, and there's no carbon or Paris-alignment target.lseg.com
