BlackRock Asset Management Canada Ltd.
The fund invest in a portfolio of Canadian stocks from large- to small-cap companies with favorable ESG qualities. The underlying index screens the MSCI Canada Investable Market Index (parent index) to exclude securities of companies involved in tobacco or controversial weapons, producers and retailers of civilian firearms, thermal coal and oil sands, as well as companies involved in severe business controversies. For each industry, MSCI identifies key ESG issues (such as climate change, resource scarcity, and demographic shifts). Each company is then rated based on their exposure and strategic response to the key issues, in comparison to their industry peers. The underlying index is then optimized quarterly to maximize exposure to companies with higher ESG ratings, while providing investment results comparable to those of the parent index.
