ETF of the Week: XTrackers SP 500 ESG ETF (SNPE)

ETF of the Week - A podcast by VettaFi - Thursdays

Categories:

VettaFi’s vice chairman Tom Lydon discussed the XTrackers S&P 500 ESG ETF (SNPE) on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe of “Money Life.” SNPE provides exposure to the S&P 500 but through an environmental, social, and governance lens. The S&P 500 ESG Index that the fund seeks to track utilizes ESG factors and criteria for inclusion while excluding companies that don't have sufficient UN Global Compact scores or else participate in certain industries such as tobacco, controversial weapons, and thermal coal.  ESG is going to be a growing part of the investiong equation looking ahead both from a regulatory risk perspective as well as a climate risk perspective and SNPE seeks to provide performance while also reducing risk.
