The iShares ESG Aware 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF aims to replicate the financial performance of a specific index. This underlying index is composed of high-quality corporate debt, denominated in U.S. dollars, with maturities spanning between one and five years. A crucial requirement for inclusion is that the bonds must be issued by companies known for their strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. Furthermore, the ETF strives to maintain a risk and return profile consistent with that of the overarching index from which its benchmark is derived.
