iShares $ Corp Bond SRI 0-3yr UCITS ETF USD (Dist) (SUSU.L) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of an index comprised of USD-denominated, ESG-screened corporate bonds with maturities between 0 and 3 years; it employs a sampling technique to replicate the benchmark's returns before fees and expenses. The fund, managed by BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited as part of the iShares suite, invests primarily in investment-grade corporate debt issued by entities such as Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Citigroup Inc, Wells Fargo & Company, and HSBC Holdings Plc; top holdings typically represent sector exposures in financials, technology, and industrials, with a focus on sustainability characteristics excluding issuers failing ESG and SRI criteria. Launched on December 12, 2018, and domiciled in Ireland, the ETF distributes income semi-annually and is listed on the London Stock Exchange (SUSU), Xetra (SNAV), and SIX Swiss Exchange; it is available to investors across Europe including the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and others, with net assets exceeding USD 476 million as of late 2025.
Geographic operations span European markets with primary trading in USD and EUR equivalents, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking short-duration, sustainable fixed income exposure; the fund forms part of BlackRock's broader iShares platform, the world's largest ETF provider, without notable subsidiaries or parent fund relationships specific to SUSU.L. In recent developments, the ETF has maintained steady performance with year-to-date returns around 4% and 1-year returns near 5% as of September 2025, reflecting resilience in short-term corporate bond markets amid interest rate dynamics; no major acquisitions, funding rounds, partnerships, or product launches directly affect this fund in the last 1-2 years, though BlackRock continues expanding its ESG ETF offerings globally, including enhancements to related SRI products. The fund remains classified under SFDR Article 8, emphasizing transparency in environmental, social, and governance metrics without altering its core investment objective.
