VSGX offers an ESG tilt on the global ex-US equities of all market capitalizations. The selection universe of the underlying index begins with the FTSE Global All Cap ex USA Index constituents. The fund will then narrow down this selection by using two exclusion categories: company conduct and company products. Company conduct, as defined by UN Global Compact Principles, pertains to controversies and policies with regards to anti-corruption, labor, environment, human rights, and diversity. In addition, companies with products considered as non-renewable energy, vice products, and weapons will also be excluded. The index constituents are market-cap-weighted and reviewed on a quarterly basis.
