This ETF seeks to replicate the performance of a carefully selected universe of large and mid-capitalization Japanese companies. It rigorously applies ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) screening criteria, excluding companies associated with controversial weapons, those rated 'CCC' or unrated by MSCI ESG, or generating substantial revenue from tobacco, conventional weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, unconventional/arctic oil and gas extraction, or palm oil. Additionally, any issuer with an MSCI Controversies Score of 0 is ineligible. A key objective of this index is to achieve a lower greenhouse gas intensity compared to its benchmark. The index's composition and screening rules are reassessed quarterly. Further information on the detailed index methodology, security selection, and weighting is available on the MSCI website.
