Overview

The iShares ESG MSCI KLD 400 ETF, identified by the ticker DSI, operates within the ESG category managed by issuer iShares. With assets under management totaling $5.36 billion and a share price of $137.90, the fund demonstrates significant investor adoption relative to the 11 other ETFs tracked in its specific category. Across all 458 tracked ETFs, the fund holds an overall rank of #222 and has received an ETFValuer grade of C, reflecting a score of 61.3 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.25% while distributing a dividend yield of 0.87% to shareholders. These metrics position the ETF as a mid-tier option in terms of ranking and cost within the broader market landscape. The substantial asset base suggests established usage, though the moderate grade indicates room for improvement in specific evaluation criteria.

Recent price action shows a slight gain of 0.04% over the last day, following a decline of 1.25% over the past week. Over the last month, the fund recorded a return of -0.71%, but this trend reversed into positive territory over longer horizons with a 3-month return of +4.21%. Year-to-date performance stands at +7.45%, while the 6-month return has reached +5.67%. The 1-year return is recorded at +16.02%, and the 3-year return shows a cumulative gain of +63.26%. This pattern indicates a divergence where short-term fluctuations have given way to stronger sustained growth over the one and three-year periods.

The fund carries a volatility label of Low, yet it exhibits a beta of 1.11, suggesting it moves slightly more than the broader market despite the classification. A Sharpe ratio of 0.78 indicates the return generated per unit of risk taken is moderate relative to the risk-free rate. The maximum drawdown of -20.58% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of a low volatility label with a beta above 1.0 implies the fund may experience market-like sensitivity while maintaining a specific risk profile. The Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown figures together suggest that while the fund has delivered positive returns, it has done so with notable exposure to downside events.

DSI Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.35% and average daily volume is 125K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $5.36B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: DSI is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
