The fund's primary objective is to replicate the performance of large-capitalization equities within the U.S. stock market. Additionally, the underlying index implements a set of exclusions, deliberately avoiding companies involved in controversial business activities like the production of controversial weapons, tobacco, oil and gas, and thermal coal mining and power generation; the precise definition of "involvement" is detailed in the index's methodology. Furthermore, the index refrains from including companies that the provider identifies as being embroiled in controversies leading to a negative environmental, social, or governance (ESG) impact on their operations or their products and services, based on their assigned MSCI ESG Controversy Score.
