IQSU

IQSU is a passively managed equity portfolio of primarily large-cap US companies meeting ESG criteria developed by IndexIQ and Candriam. Index inclusion combines sector-specific analysis and ranking of issuer-specific factors, like corporate governance and labor practices, along with a macro analysis of the issuer's exposure to global sustainability trends, including health and wellness. Companies in the top 70% within each industry sector are selected. Companies that do not comply with the principles within the UN Global Compact, as well as those engaged in businesses beyond minimum thresholds (e.g., operating in the nuclear sector, utilizing animal testing or genetic modification in R&D) are excluded. The selection process seeks to maintain exposure to all industry sectors. IQSU may also invest in other ETFs to gain exposure. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly. Before August 31, 2022, the fund was named IQ Candriam ESG US Equity ETF.
