KLMNAInvesco MSCI North America Climate ETF

NUSCCNuveen ESG Small-Cap ETF

In short

KLMN No data

NUSC ESG screens are thick on the ground in large caps and scarce in small caps. Nuveen has run this one since 2016, tracking TIAA's own ESG small-cap index across roughly 400 US names.

Stated mandate

KLMN No data

NUSC The Fund seeks to track the performance of the TIAA ESG USA Small-Cap Index before fees and expenses. The index targets U.S.-listed small-cap companies selected using environmental, social, and governance criteria.

Why people hold it

KLMN No data

  • NUSC Live since 2016 and tracking TIAA's own ESG USA Small-Cap Index. Rules decide which small caps make the cut, not a manager's judgment call.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades at moderate volume. Real staying power for a screened corner of the small-cap aisle.
  • Roughly 400 US small caps: a defined slice, not the full Russell 2000 sprawl, with the ESG screen stated up front in the fund's mandate.

Worth knowing

KLMN No data

  • NUSC At 0.31%, it runs above the small-cap median and well above VB and SCHA at 0.03% or IWM at 0.19%. The screen is what the extra buys.
  • Screening to about 400 names leaves out much of the small-cap market, so results can drift from broad small-cap benchmarks in either direction.
  • Distributions come annually or semiannually, not monthly.
