iShares MSCI World Quality Dividend Advanced UCITS ETF (WQDS.L)
About this ETF
The Fund's primary objective is to mirror the performance of the MSCI World High Dividend Yield ESG Reduced Carbon Target Select Index, seeking to deliver returns to investors through both capital growth and income generation. A significant update occurred on June 1, 2022, when the benchmark index transitioned from the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index to the aforementioned ESG-enhanced version. This change will be duly reflected in all subsequent benchmark data.
