USCLAiShares Climate Conscious & Transition MSCI USA ETF

WOMNDImpact Shares YWCA Women's Empowerment ETF

In short

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.

WOMN The rare ETF where the fee is part of the pitch: sponsor Impact Shares is itself a 501(c)(3) that routes net advisory profits to YWCA USA, while the portfolio tracks a Morningstar index that scores US companies on gender equality.

Stated mandate

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.

WOMN The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Morningstar Women’s Empowerment Index.

Why people hold it

  • 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.
  • WOMN Sponsor Impact Shares is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and donates net advisory profits from WOMN to YWCA USA. The management fee doubles as a funding channel, not just a cost line.globenewswire.comywca.org
  • The screen has teeth. Equileap's Gender Equality Scorecard, built into the Morningstar index, grades companies on 19 criteria including workforce gender balance, the pay gap and paid parental leave.morningstar.com
  • Roughly 180 US large and mid caps, so it reads like diversified equity with a tilt rather than a narrow sector bet. Pays quarterly and has been trading since 2018.globenewswire.com

Worth knowing

  • 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.
  • WOMN At 0.75%, it prices above the typical thematic fund. That gap is also what feeds the YWCA donation, so the cost and the mission are the same dollar.globenewswire.com
  • A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on giant index products, particularly in fast-moving markets.
  • A gender-equality screen reshapes the lineup, so results can drift from a plain broad US market index in either direction.morningstar.com
