- FlexShares STOXX Global ESG Select Index Fund (ESGG) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the STOXX Global ESG Select KPIs Index. The underlying index provides exposure to global developed-market companies from the STOXX Global 1800 Index that demonstrate stronger performance on select environmental, social, and governance (ESG) key performance indicators (KPIs); it excludes the bottom 50% of eligible companies by aggregate ESG KPI scores, as well as those failing UN Global Compact Principles or Norms Screening or involved in tobacco, weapons, private prisons, thermal coal, and unconventional oil and gas. Components are weighted by free-float market capitalization adjusted by an ESG KPI-based cap factor, with country weights aligned to within +/-1 percentage point of the parent index and individual company weights capped at less than 5% at rebalancing. ESGG offers investors targeted access to ESG-tilted global equities focused on capital appreciation; its portfolio emphasizes large-cap developed market stocks across sectors with superior ESG profiles. The fund, which launched on July 13, 2016, is issued by FlexShares Trust, a product line sponsored and managed by Northern Trust Asset Management, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. With assets under management of approximately $96.61 million and an expense ratio of 0.42%, ESGG trades on U.S. exchanges and serves institutional and retail investors seeking ESG integration in core global equity exposure. FlexShares Trust, formed in 2010, operates as part of Northern Trust's global asset management platform with over $1 trillion in assets under management. In a significant recent development, FlexShares announced in 2026 its rebranding to Northern Trust ETFs, reflecting deeper integration within its parent organization without impacting existing funds like ESGG. The firm has also executed strategic portfolio adjustments, including the liquidation of underperforming ESG-related products such as the FlexShares ESG & Climate Emerging Markets Core Index Fund (FEEM) in April 2024 and the FlexShares Real Assets Allocation Index Fund (ASET) in October 2025. These changes underscore ongoing optimization of the FlexShares lineup amid evolving market demands for ESG and thematic investing.
