iShares ESG Aware MSCI Canada Index ETF XESG Strategy

The fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance, net of expenses, of an ESG-oriented Index selected at the discretion of BlackRock Canada. The ESG-oriented Index will generally emphasize issuers that have positive environmental, social and governance characteristics, as identified by the index provider, chosen from the securities included in its “parent index”. The fund currently seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI Canada IMI Extended ESG Focus Index. Under normal market conditions, XESG will primarily invest in securities of one or more iShares ETFs and/or Canadian equity securities.
