EVUSAiShares ESG Aware MSCI USA Value ETF

USCLAiShares Climate Conscious & Transition MSCI USA ETF

In short

EVUS Most ESG funds hand you the whole market with the worst offenders trimmed. EVUS takes the value slice instead: roughly 220 cheaper-looking US large and mid caps, ESG-screened and re-weighted, for 0.18% a year.

USCL Most ESG index funds work by exclusion. USCL scores roughly 400 US large and mid caps on where they're heading instead: emissions intensity, reduction targets, green revenue. And it charges 0.08% a year to do it.

Stated mandate

EVUS The Fund tracks an index of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization equities selected for value characteristics and positive ESG characteristics, with risk and return characteristics similar to the MSCI USA Value Index.

USCL The Fund seeks to track an index of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies selected for their relative positioning on the transition to a low-carbon economy, using climate-related measures such as emissions intensity, reduction targets, green-business revenue, and climate-risk management.

Why people hold it

EVUS Rare combo: the ESG screen is applied inside the value sleeve rather than across the whole market, via MSCI's USA Value Extended ESG Focus Index.
Cheap for the niche: 0.18% a year against a 0.25% median in its ESG-values peer group.
The mandate is literal. It is built to keep risk and return close to the MSCI USA Value Index, and it reads as one of the more faithful implementations in its peer group.
Straightforward plumbing: about 220 US large and mid caps, index-driven weights, cash paid quarterly, iShares running the desk.

USCL At 0.08% a year, it matches the cheapest fund in its ESG cohort (XVV) and undercuts ESGV, SNPE, EFIV and ESGU.ishares.com
The index doesn't just screen out offenders. It selects on transition evidence: emissions intensity, reduction targets, green-business revenue, climate-risk management.ishares.com
About 400 US large and mid caps, so it reads as core equity exposure with a climate tilt, not a narrow clean-energy sector bet.
A multi-billion-dollar iShares fund that sticks tightly to the MSCI USA Extended Climate Action Index, one of the cleaner implementations in its peer group.

Worth knowing

EVUS Thinly traded. On a larger order, the spread can cost more than a full year of the 0.18% fee.
Launched in 2023, so the record is short and assets sit well below the family flagship, ESGU.
Plain broad-market ESG funds run cheaper: XVV at 0.08%, ESGV at 0.09%. The value tilt is what costs extra.

USCL Trading is thin for a fund this size, so spreads can widen. Limit orders are the standard tool here.
Climate scoring reshapes the sector and name mix, so results can diverge from a plain US large-cap index in either direction.
Launched in 2023, so its history is short next to the older ESG funds it competes with.
