KEY TOPICS EXPLORED

Accessing and interpreting data and metrics for different benchmarks can be a challenge for investors. iShares can help simplify the benchmark selection process by providing comparative insights on sustainable, transition, and traditional exchange traded funds. These insights include metrics and regional, sector and factor analyses, to provide transparency and help facilitate choice.

iShares enables investors to efficiently compare the costs, returns, and risk profiles of diverse sustainable and transition products.

Sustainable and transition ETFs can benefit from a similar liquidity profile to their traditional non-sustainable/transition counterparts. Therefore, understanding how to compare across ETFs can help investors improve liquidity efficiency.

At iShares, we can harness global expertise and interdisciplinary insights that are produced by BlackRock.

BlackRock’s portfolio management team uses data in Aladdin®, their proprietary risk and portfolio management system, to assess companies that comprise our sustainable and transition products. This data is used to monitor how they have evolved and anticipate future changes to fund benchmarks our products track. We believe this in turn helps investors align their portfolios to their sustainable and transition investing goals.

Risk Warning: While proprietary technology platforms may help manage risk, risk cannot be eliminated.
