About NESG
The Invesco NASDAQ-100 ESG UCITS ETF Acc aims to mirror the total return performance of the NASDAQ-100 ESG Index, net of its operational expenses. This benchmark index draws its components from the broader Nasdaq-100 Index (the "Parent Index"), specifically selecting companies that satisfy predefined Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. Companies are evaluated and weighted based on their business practices, any past controversies, and their overall ESG risk profile. The construction of the Reference Index begins by excluding securities involved in numerous controversial sectors, such as adult entertainment, alcohol production, arctic oil and gas exploration, recreational cannabis, controversial weapons, gambling, military weaponry, nuclear power, general oil and gas, oil sands extraction, riot control equipment, shale energy, small arms manufacturing, thermal coal, or tobacco. Furthermore, companies failing to adhere to the UN Global Compact principles, those with a high controversy score from Sustainalytics, or those either unrated or possessing a high ESG Risk Rating from Sustainalytics are also omitted. For the remaining eligible securities, their weighting within the index is determined by their individual Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating Score. This score is then applied to their market capitalization as observed in the original Nasdaq-100 Index to establish their final representation. The index undergoes a comprehensive review and rebalancing process every quarter. To achieve its investment objective, the fund endeavours to acquire and hold, to the greatest extent feasible, all the securities found in the Reference Index, maintaining their precise weightings. The fund’s holdings are adjusted whenever the Reference Index itself is rebalanced. This ETF operates under a passive management approach, meaning that investors acquire units in a passively managed, index-tracking vehicle, rather than obtaining direct ownership of the underlying securities held by the fund.
