Martin Currie Sustainable International Equity ETF

Company Profile

MCSE holds a high-conviction portfolio of 20 to 40 non-US equities of any market capitalization. It expects to invest in at least three countries and may include depositary receipts, preferred stocks, convertibles, and other ETFs in its equity investments. The fund uses a proprietary analytical framework to assign risk ratings according to various ESG factors related to governance and sustainability. Companies with high-risk ratings are filtered out. The fund also screens out companies significantly involved in tobacco, weapons, fossil fuels, and mining, as well as firms classified under metals and mining-related industries in GICS. MCSE focuses on reasonably valued companies with a strong history or potential for high and durable returns, as determined by the advisers evaluation of long-term potential. The fund aims to make a long-term capital commitment on its investments. On October 31, 2022, MCSE converted from a mutual fund to an actively managed ETF structure, starting with $30 million in net assets.
