Overview

The iShares ESG MSCI KLD 400 ETF, identified by the ticker DSI, operates within the ESG category managed by the issuer iShares. This fund holds an overall rank of #268 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 59.0 out of 100. It carries an expense ratio of 0.25% and offers a dividend yield of 0.87%. With assets under management totaling $5.36 billion and a current price of $136.18, the fund demonstrates significant investor adoption relative to the 11 other ETFs tracked in its specific category. The substantial asset base suggests established market presence despite the moderate overall ranking and grade assigned by the valuation model.

Recent price action shows a decline over the shortest horizons, with the fund down 1.38% in one day and 3.08% over one week. This negative momentum extended to the one-month period, which recorded a loss of 3.43%, before the trend reversed into positive territory over longer durations. The fund posted a 3-month return of 1.45% and a 6-month gain of 3.53%, indicating a recovery from the recent short-term weakness. Year-to-date performance stands at +6.11%, while the one-year return has reached +13.97%. The longest available horizon shows the most significant growth, with a three-year return of +64.74%, highlighting a distinct divergence between recent short-term volatility and sustained long-term appreciation.

The fund is classified with a Low volatility label despite exhibiting a beta of 1.11, which suggests its price movements are slightly more sensitive to market fluctuations than the broader benchmark. A Sharpe ratio of 0.63 indicates the return generated per unit of risk taken is moderate relative to the risk-free rate. The maximum drawdown of -20.58% reflects the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund, illustrating the extent of potential losses during adverse market conditions. This combination of a beta above 1.0 and a significant drawdown implies that while the fund may experience lower day-to-day volatility, it remains exposed to substantial downside moves during market corrections. Investors should consider that the low volatility classification does not preclude the fund from experiencing sharp declines of over 20% during stress periods.

DSI Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.01% and average daily volume is 116K/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.
