Description: ESGU ESG Aware MSCI USA January 03, 2026
The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (NASDAQ: ESGU) aims to track an optimized version of the MSCI USA Index that screens for U.S. companies with relatively strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores, while preserving the overall risk-return profile of the broad market.
Portfolio construction mandates that at least 90% of assets be held in the index’s component equities; the remaining allocation may be used for cash, futures, options, or swaps to manage liquidity, reduce tracking error, or implement modest tactical overlays.
Key metrics (as of Q4 2025): expense ratio 0.11 %, total assets ≈ $13 billion, and a weighted-average ESG rating of “AA” from MSCI, placing the fund in the top 15 % of U.S. large-cap equities on ESG criteria.
Sector exposure is broadly diversified, with the largest weights in Information Technology (~23 %), Health Care (~14 %), and Consumer Discretionary (~13 %). The fund’s top holdings mirror the MSCI USA composition, including Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, all of which meet the ESG screening thresholds.
Economic drivers that could influence ESGU’s performance include U.S. consumer spending trends (which affect the dominant tech and consumer sectors), the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate policy (impacting valuation multiples for growth-oriented stocks), and evolving ESG regulations that may shift capital toward higher-scoring firms.
