New L&G ETFs on Xetra: companies from the Asia-Pacific region in line with the Paris Climate Agreement
Since Wednesday, two new exchange-traded funds issued by Legal & General Investment Management have been tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt.
The two new ETFs give investors access to the performance of companies that want to reduce their CO2 emissions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. The aim of the funds is to reduce exposure to transitional and physical climate risks while capturing opportunities arising from the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Companies that operate in ESG-controversial business sectors are excluded.
While the L&G Asia Pacific ex Japan ESG Exclusions Paris Aligned UCITS ETF focuses on developed countries in Asia Pacific excluding Japan, the L&G Japan ESG Exclusions Paris Aligned UCITS ETF focuses on companies domiciled in Japan.
