ESGUAiShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF

TOVBJLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. ETF

In short

ESGU Screening out companies is easy; keeping the market's shape while you do it is the hard part. ESGU's index optimizes toward stronger ESG characteristics while targeting risk and return similar to the broad MSCI USA Index.

TOV A plain US large-cap index fund with a conviction screen bolted on: JLens' Jewish Value Pillars. Values-tilted funds usually charge a premium for the filter. This one runs at 0.18%, well under the typical index wrapper.

Stated mandate

ESGU Seeks to track an index of large- and mid-cap U.S. companies selected for favorable environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics while seeking risk/return similar to the MSCI USA Index.

TOV The Fund seeks to track the total return of the JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

ESGU Not a screen-and-drop portfolio: the index optimizes toward better ESG characteristics while targeting risk and return similar to the broad MSCI USA Index.ishares.com
0.15% a year, below the typical fund in its US ESG group, spread across roughly 300 large- and mid-cap names rather than a narrow shortlist.
Running since 2016, a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund that pays quarterly and sits in the top quartile of a crowded US ESG peer group.

TOV 0.18% a year against a 0.45% median for index wrappers. The screen arrives without the usual values-fund markup.
The mandate is legible: a named, published benchmark (the JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. Index) and a stated goal of tracking its total return before fees.
Simple plumbing. A registered 1940 Act fund holding US stocks, no factor tilts layered on top, distributions paid quarterly.
Sits in the upper tier of its index-wrapper peer group for actually delivering the mandate it advertises.

Worth knowing

ESGU Cheaper seats in the same row: XVV at 0.08%, ESGV at 0.09%, SNPE and EFIV at 0.10%, against 0.15% here.
Market-like risk is the stated goal, so exclusions are lighter than a purist ESG fund and the holdings end up looking a lot like the broad US market.ishares.com
MSCI's ratings decide who makes the cut, so the portfolio reflects one provider's definition of ESG, not an industry standard.ishares.com

TOV Young fund. It launched in 2025, so there is limited live history to judge tracking or behavior across a full market cycle.
It trades lightly next to the giant core index funds, so spreads can run wider and bigger orders need more patience.
The screen is the product. An advocacy-filtered basket can diverge from an unscreened US large-cap benchmark in either direction.
