Investment Objectives

XSHG seeks to provide income by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance, net of expenses, of an ESG- oriented Index selected at the discretion of BlackRock Canada. The ESG-oriented Index will generally be comprised of fixed income securities of issuers that meet a minimum standard for overall ESG attributes and which are not materially involved in specified business activities or severe controversies, in each case, as determined by the Index Provider.

Investment Strategy

XSHG's current principal investment strategy is to employ a Sampling Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XSHG may also invest by employing a Replicating Strategy, by investing in one or more iShares ETFs and/or through the use of derivatives. More information on these investment strategies and additional investment strategies that may be used by BlackRock Canada and/or BTC in managing this iShares Fund can be found under the heading Investment Strategies .
