RSPEBInvesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF

USCLAiShares Climate Conscious & Transition MSCI USA ETF

In short

RSPE Most ESG index funds still let a handful of mega-caps run the show. RSPE screens the S&P 500 for ESG leaders and then flattens the weights, so roughly 180 names each carry similar heft.

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

RSPE The fund seeks to track the S&P 500 Equal Weight ESG Leaders Select Index and generally invests at least 90% of assets in securities comprising that 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

  • RSPE Equal weighting is the whole point: rather than a few mega-caps steering the portfolio, roughly 180 ESG-screened S&P 500 names each carry similar weight.
  • At 0.20% a year it comes in under the typical fund in its ESG peer group, which is unusual for a strategy that isn't plain cap-weighted.
  • The mandate is narrow and closely followed: at least 90% of assets in index constituents, and it hugs its benchmark about as tightly as anything in its peer group.
  • 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

  • RSPE The big cap-weighted ESG index funds cost less: XVV at 0.08%, SNPE and EFIV at 0.10%. Equal weighting carries a price premium here.
  • A smaller, thinly traded fund next to the household-name ESG ETFs, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
  • Equal weights plus ESG screens leave a portfolio that looks quite different from the cap-weighted S&P 500, so its behavior can diverge from the headline index.
  • 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.
