CI S&P INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED ESG INDEX ETF (CAD, IICE.F) IICE.F.CA

Invesco S&P International Developed ESG Index ETF is a passively managed equity ETF whose objective is to replicate the performance of the S&P Developed Ex-North America & Korea LargeMidCap Scored & Screened Index, or any successor thereto, before fees and expenses.

The fund invests primarily in equities of companies listed in developed markets of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The benchmark index is part of the S&P Scored & Screened ESG Index Series.

It is broad-based and market-capitalization weighted, constructed from regional component indices: S&P Europe Developed LargeMidCap Scored & Screened; S&P Mid-East and Africa Developed LargeMidCap Scored & Screened; and S&P Asia Pacific Developed ex Korea LargeMidCap Scored & Screened.

The "Scored & Screened" methodology selects companies that meet ESG criteria, excludes those involved in certain business activities (such as controversial weapons, tobacco, oil sands, etc.), enforces compliance with the UN Global Compact, excludes companies in the bottom ESG scoring, and maintains similar industry group weights as in the underlying eligible universe.

To achieve its objective, the ETF uses full replication, holding constituent securities in approximate proportions to their weight in the index, though it may use sampling methodology where full replication is not feasible.

The provider is Invesco Canada Ltd. (with sub-advisor support from Invesco Capital Management LLC and Northwest & Ethical Investments L.P. in an ESG advisory role) and the vehicle is an exchange-traded fund listed in Canada.
