iShares ESG Equity ETF Portfolio (GEQT.TO)
About this ETF
The fund's primary goal is to achieve sustained capital appreciation over the long term. It accomplishes this by predominantly investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are managed by BlackRock Canada or an associated entity, commonly referred to as 'iShares ETFs.' These iShares ETFs, which offer access to equity markets, typically integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into their investment strategies.
