The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) tracks an optimized index of U.S. equities selected for positive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) profiles. The fund maintains a minimum 90% allocation to its underlying index components, utilizing the remaining 10% for derivatives and cash equivalents to manage liquidity and tracking error.
