Factor ESG Target Indexes
MSCI Factor ESG Target Indexes are designed to represent the performance of a strategy that seeks to systematically integrate ESG considerations into factor investing. They aim to be more “ESG aware” to support institutional investors seeking to incorporate those ESG considerations into their factor investing-based portfolios.
Target benefitsIntegrating ESG across the investment process
