Sustainability Characteristics

Sustainability Characteristics

Sustainability Characteristics provide investors with specific non-traditional metrics. Alongside other metrics and information, these enable investors to evaluate funds on certain environmental, social and governance characteristics. Sustainability Characteristics do not provide an indication of current or future performance nor do they represent the potential risk and reward profile of a fund. They are provided for transparency and for information purposes only. Sustainability Characteristics should not be considered solely or in isolation, but instead are one type of information that investors may wish to consider when assessing a fund. Learn more


This fund seeks to follow a sustainable, impact or ESG investment strategy, as disclosed in its prospectus. For more information regarding the fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.

All data is from MSCI ESG Fund Ratings as of May 19, 2023, based on holdings as of Nov 30, 2022. As such, the fund’s sustainable characteristics may differ from MSCI ESG Fund Ratings from time to time.

To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Ratings, 65% (or 50% for bond funds and money market funds) of the fund’s gross weight must come from securities with ESG coverage by MSCI ESG Research (certain cash positions and other asset types deemed not relevant for ESG analysis by MSCI are removed prior to calculating a fund’s gross weight; the absolute values of short positions are included but treated as uncovered), the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities.

Business Involvement

Business Involvement

Business Involvement metrics can help investors gain a more comprehensive view of specific activities in which a fund may be exposed through its investments.


Business Involvement metrics are not indicative of a fund’s investment objective, and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund’s investment objective, do not change a fund’s investment objective or constrain the fund’s investable universe. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.


Review the MSCI methodology behind the Business Involvement metrics, using links below.

MSCI - Controversial Weapons as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%
MSCI - UN Global Compact Violators as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%
MSCI - Nuclear Weapons as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%
MSCI - Thermal Coal as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%
MSCI - Civilian Firearms as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%
MSCI - Oil Sands as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%
MSCI - Tobacco as of Apr 28, 2023 0.00%

Business Involvement Coverage as of Apr 28, 2023 98.56%
Percentage of Fund not covered as of Apr 28, 2023 1.44%
BlackRock business involvement exposures as shown above for Thermal Coal and Oil Sands are calculated and reported for companies that generate more than 5% of revenue from thermal coal or oil sands as defined by MSCI ESG Research. For the exposure to companies that generate any revenue from thermal coal or oil sands (at a 0% revenue threshold), as defined by MSCI ESG Research, it is as follows: Thermal Coal 0.00% and for Oil Sands 0.00%.

Business Involvement metrics are calculated by BlackRock using data from MSCI ESG Research which provides a profile of each company’s specific business involvement. BlackRock leverages this data to provide a summed up view across holdings and translates it to a fund's market value exposure to the listed Business Involvement areas above.


Business Involvement metrics are designed only to identify companies where MSCI has conducted research and identified as having involvement in the covered activity. As a result, it is possible there is additional involvement in these covered activities where MSCI does not have coverage. This information should not be used to produce comprehensive lists of companies without involvement. Business Involvement metrics are only displayed if at least 1% of the fund’s gross weight includes securities covered by MSCI ESG Research.

ESG Integration

ESG Integration

ESG integration is the practice of incorporating material environmental, social and governance (ESG) information or insights alongside traditional measures into the investment decision process to improve long term financial outcomes of portfolios. Unless otherwise stated in Fund documentation or included within the Fund’s investment objective, inclusion of this statement does not imply that the Fund has an ESG-aligned investment objective, but rather describes how ESG information is considered as part of the overall investment process.


In addition to the investment process described in the Fund documentation, the Fund manager also considers ESG criteria during the idea generation, company research, portfolio construction and ongoing monitoring phases of the investment process. ESG information may be sourced from BlackRock’s internal ESG research, third-party data providers, and engagement with company management. The Fund manager incorporates exposures to material environmental, social and governance risks, and uses BlackRock’s internal business involvement and controversy flags, among other tools, to filter the investable universe. The Fund manager utilizes regular meetings with company management and site visits to address any outstanding ESG concerns. All the above is recorded as independent ESG commentary in a dedicated section of internal stock reports as well as in analysts’ company meeting notes. ESG discussion is a necessary, essential, and mandatory part of the team’s regular security presentations, Risk and Quantitative Analysis group reviews, portfolio attribution reviews, daily team meetings, and reviews with the Chief Investment Officers.
