iShares ESG Aware U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF

iShares ESG Aware U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF is a fixed income exchange-traded fund that provides broad exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade bonds with an explicit environmental, social, and governance (ESG) tilt. The fund seeks to track the Bloomberg MSCI US Aggregate ESG Focus Index, which incorporates ESG scores while maintaining characteristics similar to the traditional U.S. Aggregate bond benchmark. Its portfolio spans U.S. government, corporate, and securitized bonds, creating a diversified core bond holding aligned with ESG considerations. The ETF is designed for investors seeking regular income and broad U.S. bond market exposure while reducing exposure to issuers with weaker ESG profiles. Managed by BlackRock under the iShares brand and launched in 2018, the fund distributes income monthly and is used in both standalone bond allocations and multi-asset portfolios where ESG integration is a priority.
