ESGU: Aligning ESG Values With Some Sacrifices
iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF holds 285 U.S. stocks meeting ESG standards, with a higher expense ratio of 0.15% compared to similar funds. ESGU has slightly underperformed the S&P 500 since inception, attributed to higher exposure to mid-cap and small-cap stocks, leading to higher volatility and downside risk. ESGU's sector allocation and growth/value characteristics closely mirror the S&P 500, but it has a slightly lower concentration risk due to fewer top holdings.

ESGU: Pretty Much A Core S&P 500 Fund
iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF offers exposure to ESG-friendly US stocks, selected based on ESG ratings and negative screening criteria. ESGU holdings overlap with S&P 500, raising questions about differentiation despite ESG criteria integration. ESGU competes with other ESG-themed ETFs, but may not offer significant differentiation in performance or sector composition compared to broader market proxies.
