Description

This ETF aims to mirror the performance of a select group of large and mid-capitalization Japanese equities. It integrates specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screens, leading to the exclusion of companies involved in controversial weapons, those assigned an MSCI ESG Rating of 'CCC' or left unrated, and those deriving significant revenue from tobacco, conventional or nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, unconventional or arctic oil and gas extraction, or palm oil. Furthermore, any issuer with an MSCI Controversies Score of 0 is also removed. A key feature is its objective to achieve reduced greenhouse gas intensity compared to its parent index. The index undergoes a review and rebalancing process every quarter. For comprehensive information on the index, its selection criteria, and weighting methodology, please visit the MSCI website at https://www.msci.com.
