Key Facts

Portfolio Characteristics

Portfolio Characteristics

P/E Ratio The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a fundamental measure used to determine if an investment is valued appropriately. Each holding's P/E is the latest closing price divided by the latest fiscal year's earnings per share. Negative P/E ratios are excluded from this calculation. as of Jun 13, 2019 11.48
P/B Ratio The price-to-book value (P/B) ratio is a fundamental measure used to determine if an investment is valued appropriately. The book value of a company is a measure of how much a company's assets are worth assuming the company's debts are paid off. Each holding's P/B is the latest closing price divided by the latest fiscal year's book value per share. Negative book values are excluded from this calculation. as of Jun 13, 2019 1.06
Equity Beta (3y) Beta is a measure of the tendency of securities to move with the market as a whole. A beta of 1 indicates that the security&#39;s price will move with the market. A beta less than 1 indicates the security tends to be less volatile than the market, while a beta greater than 1 indicates the security is more volatile than the market.<br/><br/>Calculated vs. S&amp;P 500 as of May 31, 2019 0.70
Standard Deviation (3y) Standard deviation measures how dispersed returns are around the average. A higher standard deviation indicates that returns are spread out over a larger range of values and thus, more volatile. as of May 31, 2019 11.51%
Distribution Yield The annual yield an investor would receive if the most recent fund distribution and current fund price stayed the same going forward. It’s calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution and dividing by the fund’s net asset value (NAV) from the as-of date. as of May 31, 2019 2.47%
12m Trailing Yield The yield an investor would have received if they had held the fund over the last twelve months assuming the most recent NAV. The 12-Month yield is calculated by assuming any income distributions over the past twelve months and dividing by the sum of the most recent NAV and any capital gain distributions made over the past twelve months. as of May 31, 2019 4.38%
30 Day SEC Yield A standard calculation of yield introduced by the SEC in order to provide fairer comparison among funds. This yield reflects the interest earned after deducting the fund&#39;s expenses during the most recent 30-day period by the average investor in the fund. Negative 30-Day SEC Yield results when accrued expenses of the past 30 days exceed the income collected during the past 30 days. as of May 31, 2019 3.87%

Sustainability Characteristics

Sustainability Characteristics

ESG metrics help investors evaluate companies based on environmental, social, and governance risks and opportunities — and the companies’ ability to manage them. They can help investors integrate material, non-financial information into their investment process. Learn more.

MSCI ESG Quality Score The fund&#39;s overall MSCI ESG Quality Score measures the ability of underlying holdings to manage key medium- to long-term risks and opportunities arising from environmental, social, and governance factors. The MSCI ESG Quality Score is calculated as the weighted average of the underlying holding&#39;s ESG Scores. It is provided on a 0-10 scale, with 0 and 10 being the respective lowest and highest possible fund scores. MSCI rates underlying holdings according to their exposure to 37 industry specific ESG risks and their ability to manage those risks relative to peers. These issuer-level ESG ratings correspond to an issuer-level ESG Score. as of Jun 01, 2019 6.3
MSCI ESG Quality Score - Peer Rank The MSCI ESG Quality Score - Peer Rank is a percentile rank (1-100) that measures how the fund&#39;s MSCI ESG Quality Score ranks relative to other funds in the same peer group. as of Jun 01, 2019 42.78%
MSCI ESG % Coverage Percent by weight of a fund&#39;s holdings that have ESG Data. as of Jun 01, 2019 99.62%

MSCI Weighted Average Carbon Intensity
(Tons CO2E/$M SALES) The MSCI Weighted Average Carbon Intensity measures a fund&#39;s exposure to carbon intensive companies. This figure represents the estimated greenhouse gas emissions per $1 million in sales across the fund’s holdings. The figure is a sum of the normalized security weight multiplied by the security Carbon Intensity. This allows for comparisons between funds of different sizes. as of Jun 01, 2019 220.11
Fund Lipper Global Classification Size The number of funds used to calculate the MSCI ESG Quality Score - Peer Rank. This is based on the Lipper Global Classification and reflects the funds that are in the MSCI ESG Fund Metrics coverage universe. as of Jun 01, 2019 790
All data is from MSCI Fund Metrics as of Jun 01, 2019, based on holdings as of Mar 31, 2019.

For newly launched funds, sustainability characteristics are typically available 6 months after launch.

 

To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Metrics, 65% of the fund’s underlying holdings (excluding cash positions) must be covered by MSCI ESG Research, the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities.
