SOLACTIVE ETHOS SCREENED EQUITY WORLD EX SWITZERLAND INDEX
Ethos launched in 2025 a new international equities index applying targeted exclusions.
This „screened” index enables investors to reduce ESG risks while maintaining diversified exposure to equity markets - with a low tracking error relative to the benchmark.
This index comprises mid- and large-cap companies from developed markets (excluding Switzerland). It systematically excludes companies whose products and/or behaviours are deemed incompatible with the values of the Ethos Foundation:
-
Companies deriving more than 5 % of their turnover from one or more of the following sectors are excluded: armaments, coal, gambling, nuclear energy, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), pornography, tobacco and unconventional fossil fuels.
-
Also excluded are companies subject to major controversies, characterised by violations of fundamental principles of ethics and sustainable development.
