Xtrackers Bloomberg Barclays US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF (ESCR)

Overview

The investment described aims to closely replicate the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index, before accounting for fees and expenses. By committing at least 80% of its assets, and typically much more, to the securities that form the basis of the underlying index, the fund intends to provide investors with a responsible investment option. The selected index incorporates ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations into its selection criteria, thereby offering an investment grade fixed income exposure that aligns with sustainable and responsible investment principles. This approach seeks to mirror the broad characteristics of its parent index, the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Index, which encompasses a wide range of investment-grade corporate bonds.
