iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF

iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF

iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF (ESGE) is an exchange-traded fund offering investors exposure to emerging-market equities while applying environmental, social and governance (ESG) screens. It aims to track an MSCI index that selects and weights companies in emerging economies on the basis of ESG criteria and standard market-cap factors. The fund typically holds a diversified mix of large- and mid-cap companies across Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe, though country and sector concentrations can occur. Investors should be aware of the higher volatility, political and currency risks associated with emerging markets, and that ESG screening can produce a different risk-return profile than broad emerging-market indexes. Fees, tracking error and index methodology matter for performance; check the latest prospectus for specifics. This is general educational information, not personalised advice — suitability depends on individual goals, timeframe and risk tolerance, and values-based screens may affect returns both positively and negatively.
