About ETHI
ETHI is Betashares' Global Sustainability Leaders ETF. It tracks the Nasdaq Future Global Sustainability Leaders Index, which starts with large global companies, keeps those judged to be climate leaders, and screens out businesses involved in fossil fuels, gambling, weapons, tobacco and other activities many investors avoid. It holds around 200 companies and is unhedged.
The screening produces a quite different mix from a plain global fund. Payment companies such as Visa and Mastercard sit near the top alongside Apple and Nvidia, and there is more in financials and health care, with no energy companies at all. Income is modest and unfranked. Because it excludes whole sectors, ETHI can perform quite differently from the broad market, for better or worse, and movements in the Australian dollar affect returns.
ETHI may suit investors who want their global shares to reflect their values. A hedged version is HETH, and alternatives include VESG and IWLD. See ETHI vs VESG, ETHI vs HETH and ETHI vs FAIR.
