Invesco S&P 500 Scored & Screened UCITS ETF Acc is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index, focusing on the largest U.S. companies selected and weighted based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Launched on March 9, 2020, and domiciled in Ireland, this accumulating ETF reinvests dividends rather than distributing them, allowing for compounded growth within the fund. It employs a synthetic replication method using unfunded swaps to mirror the index's total return performance, net of fees, expenses, and transaction costs, while holding a diversified basket of equities. With approximately 306-320 holdings, top positions include leading firms like Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Amazon.com, Inc., representing key sectors such as technology, healthcare, and energy, adjusted for enhanced ESG profiles by excluding controversial activities like tobacco. The ETF maintains a low total expense ratio of 0.09% p.a., manages assets around €2.75 billion (or equivalent in other currencies), and offers currency-unhedged exposure to U.S. large-cap equities. Classified under UCITS regulations, it provides investors with a medium-risk profile (4 out of 7), aiming for a risk-return similar to the broader S&P 500 while prioritizing sustainability characteristics. This fund plays a significant role in the ESG investment landscape, enabling access to screened U.S. market leaders through efficient, transparent vehicles.
