• Happy National “Set a Good Example Day!” We’re sure you knew and are celebrating appropriately. However, if we are the first to tell you – yes, February 26 is this unique “holiday.” To commemorate the day, let’s take a look at the ETFs that have ESG as their General Attribute (according to the Tidal ETF Classification tool).
  • There are currently 118 ESG ETFs totaling $81.4 Billion.
    • iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) has the most AUM with $13.5 Billion, with Vanguard’s ESGV and iShares’ ESGD next in line at $8.1B and $7.9B respectively.
    • The top 10 ETFs in AUM constitute $52.4B of the $81.4B total (63%).
  • The top performers:
    • YTD: 11.5% for NWLG, Nuveen Winslow Large-Cap Growth ESG ETF.

  • The average expense (bps) is 33.3 compared to the industry’s 52.9 bps.
• ESG ETFs aim to set a good example to the industry and investors alike. Regardless of your feelings on this group and its impact in reality, we should all want to set a good example today and every day (but today especially)!
