What is USCL?

The iShares Climate Conscious & Transition MSCI USA ETF (the "Fund") seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies based on their positioning, relative to their sector peers, with respect to the transition to a low-carbon economy, as determined by the Index Provider, based primarily on current emissions intensity, emissions reduction targets, green business revenue, and/or climate risk management. The index targets companies within their sectors based on a methodology that incorporates current climate metrics and forward-looking initiatives. Companies are evaluated primarily based on their current GHG emissions intensity, emissions reduction commitments, climate risk management and green business revenue. The climate metric assessment is used to select the top 50% from each GICS sector from the parent index, the MSCI USA Index, with issuer weights capped at 5%.
