KEY TOPICS EXPLORED
Accessing and interpreting data and metrics for different benchmarks can be a challenge for investors. iShares can help simplify the benchmark selection process by providing comparative analyses and insights on sustainable, transition, and traditional indices. These insights include metrics and regional, sector and factor analyses, to provide transparency and help facilitate choice.
iShares enables investors to efficiently compare the costs, returns, and risk profiles of diverse sustainable and transition products. Our Equity and Fixed Income Product Strategy teams can provide analyses identifying products that most align to their goals.
Sustainable and transition ETFs can benefit from a similar liquidity profile to their traditional non-sustainable/transition counterparts. Therefore, understanding how to compare across ETFs can help investors improve liquidity efficiency. The iShares Markets Coverage team offers expert trading guidance, tools, and analysis for selecting efficient strategies in line with client objectives.
Leverage BlackRock's insights and tailored analysis to align your portfolio with your goals. The BlackRock Portfolio Consulting team offers tailored analysis for portfolio construction.

This approach can help investors meet their investment needs and align to their objectives.
At iShares, we can harness BlackRock’s proprietary research, global expertise, and interdisciplinary insights. This in turn helps investors align their portfolios to their sustainable and transition investing goals.
