What is NUBD?

The Fund seeks to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg MSCI US Aggregate ESG Select Index. The Fund employs a passive management (or indexing ) approach, investing in a diversified portfolio of U.S. investment grade bonds that satisfy certain environmental, social and governance ( ESG ) criteria. The Bloomberg MSCI US Aggregate ESG Select Index (the Index ) uses a rules-based methodology that seeks to provide investment exposure that generally replicates the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Base Index") through a portfolio of securities that adhere to predetermined ESG criteria. The Index is composed of U.S. government securities, debt securities issued by U.S. corporations, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-based securities and U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments and corporations.

What is ETF correlation?

ETF correlations can help you create investing strategies and portfolios. Use them to:

  • Build a diversified portfolio from uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETFs with the aim of minimizing portfolio risk.
  • Compare correlated or related ETFs to find one with a lower expense ratio or higher trading volume.
  • Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
