First ESG-focused Gold Mining ETF to launch on London Stock Exchange

HANetf and AuAg Funds announce the launch of Europe’s first ESG focused gold mining ETF, AuAg ESG Gold Mining UCITS ETF (ticker: ESGO). ESGO seeks to offer exposure to an equal-weighted basket of 25 ESG screened gold miners.

The AuAg ESG Gold Mining UCITS ETF (ticker: ESGO) will list on London Stock Exchange on Wednesday 7th July and will be passported for sale across Europe.

The fund has been created in partnership with Sweden based AuAg Funds, a boutique brand with a strong focus on precious metals & green-tech elements, and has been developed on the HANetf white-label ETF platform.

The ETF tracks the Solactive AuAg Gold Mining Index, which ranks gold miners for ESG characteristics and excludes all but the 25 best-in-class ESG Risk companies in the sector. Independent ESG screening is provided by Sustainalytics, which has more than 25 years of experience in delivering ESG-related research. The ETF is classified as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

The fund is equally weighted, with each holding having an allocation of 4%. The equal-weighted design helps to avoid concentration risks in larger gold miners. The possible underweighting of a few dominant mega-companies may also provide a beneficial return profile for the AuAg ESG Gold Mining UCITS ETF in a bull market for gold and gold miners. The fund’s total expense ratio is 0.60%. When you trade ETFs your capital is at risk.

Precious metals, with their unique properties, are indispensable in the transformation to a green world. Impact investing within the industry promotes environmentally friendly miners to be on the grid, build solar farms on-site, use fuel-cell mining trucks, and restore sites post-project, leaving reusable infrastructure (roads, water, electricity) for other projects. The mining sector’s role in greenhouse gas emission means ESG criteria need to be monitored, which is the focus of the Solactive AuAg ESG Gold Mining Index.

Eric Strand, CEO at AuAg Funds and founder of the AuAg ESG Gold Mining UCITS ETF, said:

“We’re delighted to launch the AuAg ESG Gold Mining UCITS ETF (ESGO) which allows investment in the companies that extract precious metals, with an active ESG approach. Mining is an industry that has seen vast improvements in all aspects of ESG, but standards vary across regions and companies. ESGO helps investors get exposure towards gold mining companies with the best ESG credentials and invest in the sector more responsibly.”

    obigen Kriterien nicht erfüllen, verfügen demnach nicht über eine
    deutsche Lizenz. Um die deutsche Lizenz zu erhalten, müssen seitens des Antragstellers (des Online-Casinos)
    sehr strenge Auflagen erfüllt werden. Trotzdem durften Internet-Spielotheken mit einer europäischen Lizenz aufgrund ihres Niederlassungsrechts ihr Angebot europaweit anbieten – auch in Deutschland.
    Highroller-Casinos bieten in der Regel attraktivere XXL-Boni, maßgeschneiderte Spiele und nicht selten auch persönliche Ansprechpartner – nur für VIPs.
    Viele Anbieter bieten sogar eine gesonderte VIP-Lounge auf ihrer Webseite an.
    Mit dem Inkrafttreten der neuen Glücksspielregulierungen gibt es einen verstärkten Fokus auf den Spielerschutz für deutsche Nutzer.
