- iShares $ Corp Bond ESG SRI UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (SUOA.AS) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainable SRI Index by investing primarily in a portfolio of USD-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds from issuers demonstrating superior environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices relative to sector peers; the ETF employs a physical sampling replication methodology, holding approximately 5,138 securities with an average weighted maturity of 9.56 years, effective duration of 6.36 years, and yield to maturity of 4.67% as of late 2025. Launched on March 3, 2020 and domiciled in Ireland as part of iShares II plc, a BlackRock entity, the accumulating share class (ISIN: IE00BKKKWJ26) targets institutional and retail investors seeking sustainable fixed income exposure across sectors including industrials, utilities, and financials, with top holdings from issuers such as JPMorgan Chase & Co (3.51%), Bank of America Corp (3.15%), and Morgan Stanley (2.66%); it lists on exchanges including Euronext Amsterdam, Xetra, and SIX Swiss Exchange. The fund, managed by BlackRock Asset Management Ireland with a total expense ratio of 0.15%, maintains assets under management of approximately EUR 734 million (USD 2,709 million) and excludes issuers involved in controversial activities while prioritizing low carbon intensity (41.06 tons CO2e/$M sales) and high MSCI ESG Quality Scores (6.90). In recent developments, multiple BlackRock announcements indicate that one or more trading lines of the fund will be delisted or cancelled effective December 1, 2025, as detailed in shareholder letters, representing a significant operational change amid ongoing portfolio adjustments and performance tracking versus its benchmark. The ETF operates globally with a focus on US corporate bond markets, unhedged against USD currency risk, and serves investors across Europe, including Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, through authorized intermediaries on secondary markets.
