- BNY Mellon Sustainable International Equity ETF (BKIS) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in common stocks of foreign companies located in developed markets outside North America, with a focus on those demonstrating attractive investment attributes and sustainable business practices. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of such companies, which may include large-, mid-, and all-cap stocks; it employs a bottom-up investment process integrating fundamental analysis with proprietary sustainability research to overweight or underweight countries, companies, industries, or market sectors relative to benchmarks like the MSCI EAFE Index. Holdings typically span sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer discretionary, and industrials, featuring prominent names like ASML Holding NV, SAP SE, RELX PLC, Industria de Diseño Textil SA, L'Oreal SA, AstraZeneca PLC, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, among others. The ETF targets institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to international equities through a sustainable lens, with operations focused on developed markets including Europe, Japan, and Asia-Pacific regions. BKIS forms part of the BNY Mellon ETF Trust, managed by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., with sub-advisory services provided by Newton Investment Management Limited, a BNY Mellon affiliate renowned for its expertise in sustainable investing. Launched on December 15, 2021, and listed on the NYSE Arca, the fund was headquartered in a structure domiciled in the United States. In a significant operational change, the Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon ETF Trust approved the closing and liquidation of BKIS, alongside its sister sustainable ETFs BNY Mellon Sustainable US Equity ETF (BKUS) and BNY Mellon Sustainable Global Emerging Markets ETF (BKES), effective February 21, 2024, following the last trading day on February 14, 2024; shareholders of record received a liquidating distribution equal to the net asset value of their shares in cash. This decision, announced via a supplement to the prospectus on January 16, 2024, reflected efforts to streamline underperforming or low-AUM products amid challenging market conditions for sustainable active ETFs, with no subsequent relaunches or reorganizations reported. Prior to closure, the fund managed approximately $8.88 million in assets under management.
