USCAAXtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF

In short

HAPI Most factor funds screen balance sheets. HAPI screens culture, tracking an index that picks roughly 150 U.S. large caps using a proprietary corporate-culture score. A human-capital bet in a plain index wrapper.

USCA The largest US ETF debut on record when it launched in 2023, seeded by a Finnish pension fund. It owns roughly 400 US large- and mid-caps, keeping only the top half of each sector on MSCI's climate-transition scoring, for 0.07% a year.

Stated mandate

HAPI The Fund uses an indexing strategy to track the Human Capital Factor Large Cap Index, investing at least 80% of assets in index securities. The index selects roughly 150 U.S. companies using a proprietary corporate-culture scoring methodology.

USCA The fund seeks to track the MSCI USA Climate Action Index before fees and expenses through a passive indexing strategy. The index selects U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies assessed as leading sector peers in climate-transition positioning and actions.

Why people hold it

  • HAPI A genuinely different screen. The index selects its U.S. large caps on a corporate-culture score rather than the usual value, size or momentum plumbing.
  • No black-box trading overlay. It is a straightforward indexing strategy that keeps at least 80% of assets in the index's own securities.
  • Spread across roughly 160 U.S. large caps, so the culture screen arrives as a diversified portfolio rather than a concentrated thematic bet.
  • Live since 2022 with a real asset base in the hundreds of millions. Past the fragile launch-week stage for a niche idea.
  • USCA Costs 0.07% a year against a typical screened US equity peer near 0.28%, and undercuts bigger ESG names like SUSA at 0.25%.
  • No blanket sector bans: the index keeps the top 50% of companies in each GICS sector, so energy and industrials stay in, represented by their climate-transition leaders.dws.commsci.com
  • Rules do the picking. MSCI's climate metrics, ESG ratings and controversy screens set the roster; no manager discretion, no stock-by-stock calls.dws.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund with an institutional anchor investor from day one, and it pays quarterly.businesswire.com

Worth knowing

  • HAPI At 0.35% a year it prices above the typical U.S. factor ETF. Broad factor tilts like SIZE (0.15%) or MGV (0.05%) cost far less if the culture angle isn't the draw.
  • Thinly traded next to the giants of its category, so limit orders and trading during regular market hours matter more here.
  • The culture score is proprietary, and with a 2022 launch there's limited history showing how the screen behaves across a full market cycle.
  • USCA Half of each sector is screened out, so results can drift from a plain MSCI USA index fund in either direction.dws.com
  • Market-cap weighted and filed as non-diversified, so America's largest companies carry heavy weight at the top.dws.com
  • Moderately traded next to the giants of US equity, so spreads can be a bigger part of the cost of getting in and out.
