Additionally, investors can now analyze and benchmark the ESG risks of ETFs against 18 ESG risk sectors including Water, Green Bonds, Clean Tech, Human Rights, Tobacco and more. Investors can also quickly compare ETFs using an aggregate rating score that analyses the exposure of the ETF to the common ESG risk factors.
