C000226201 Investment Objective and Strategy
BlackRock U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by BlackRock ETF Trust.
Investment objective
The iShares U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (formerly known as BlackRock U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF) (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in large- and mid-capitalization U.S. equity securities that may be better positioned to benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund seeks to outperform the price and yield performance of the Russell 1000 Index (the Underlying Index) before including Fund expenses by emphasizing Low Carbon Economy Transition Readiness (LCETR) score criteria based on proprietary BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA) research. The Fund seeks to maintain an LCETR score that is at least 10% better than that of its Underlying Index (the uplift target). This assessment versus the Underlying Index is determined at the time of investment and the Fund may deviate from its uplift target due to, among other factors, market movements or changes in data. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of issuers listed in the United States of America.
Investments in derivatives are counted toward the Funds 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. The Funds 80% investment policy may be changed by the Funds Board of Trustees (the Board) upon 60 days notice to shareholders. The Fund selects portfolio securities that are components of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index measures the performance of the large- and mid-capitalization sectors of the U.S. equity market, as defined by FTSE Russell (the Index Provider or Russell). The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the Underlying Index. The Fund utilizes BFAs proprietary LCETR strategy to overweight, relative to the Underlying Index, issuers that BFA believes are best positioned to benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy, and to underweight issuers that it believes are poorly positioned to so benefit.
BFA assigns a transition readiness (or LCETR) score to each issuer by aggregating research-driven insights across different sustainability themes, which may include, but are not limited to, energy production, clean technology, energy management, waste management and water management. Although a majority of the LCETR score will be comprised of environmental considerations, the score will also incorporate social and governance considerations, as well as certain non-sustainability signals, including financial signals. The weighting of these inputs is determined and dynamically adjusted by BFA based on their assessed relative importance and prevailing market conditions. BFA uses the final score for each issuer to determine whether the Fund should overweight or underweight such issuer based on the issuers score in comparison to other issuers in the peer industry.
BFAs methodology seeks to emphasize the Funds exposure to issuers with the highest LCETR scores while controlling for risk. The Fund may invest in issuers in all industries represented in the Funds Underlying Index, including those issuers that could be considered outside of LCETR investing. The Fund may invest in large- and mid-capitalization companies. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, depositary receipts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and equity interests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships (MLPs). The Fund may also purchase convertible securities. The Fund may invest in certain futures, options and swap contracts. The Underlying Index is sponsored by Russell, which is part of the London Stock Exchange Group and is independent of the Fund and BFA.
Russell determines the composition and relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index.
