Description: ESML iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA November 11, 2025

The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA Small-Cap ETF (BATS: ESML) aims to track an optimized version of the MSCI USA Small-Cap Index, allocating at least 90% of assets to the index’s constituent equities and allowing up to 10% for futures, options, swaps, cash, or cash equivalents to manage liquidity and tracking error. The optimization tilts the portfolio toward companies that MSCI scores as having stronger environmental, social, and governance (ESG) characteristics relative to the broader small-cap universe.

Key metrics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.25%, assets under management of roughly $1.2 billion, and a weighted average market-cap of about $2.5 billion, placing it firmly in the micro-cap segment. The fund’s top sector exposures are technology (≈ 22%), healthcare (≈ 18%), and consumer discretionary (≈ 15%), sectors that historically benefit from a low-interest-rate environment and robust consumer spending-both macro drivers that can amplify small-cap performance. ESG scoring is based on MSCI’s proprietary framework, which gives additional weight to companies with lower carbon intensity and stronger board diversity, but the exact scoring thresholds are not publicly disclosed, introducing some uncertainty around the ESG tilt’s consistency.
