It has just five available in the U.S., versus dozens at rival Blackrock and other firms.<\/p>\n<p> But as billions of dollars have flowed into rival firms\u2019 ESG products in the past year and a half, the fund giant may be shifting its stance as it adds expertise in the area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       Kaitlyn Caughlin, who oversees the firm\u2019s product review, wouldn\u2019t say whether or when to expect new products, but noted the firm is doing \u201ca lot of additional research right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The firm recently created an ESG product category team in the U.S. with two dedicated ESG product managers and three support staff. In Europe there is a head of ESG strategy who leads a group of product specialists who are largely, though not solely, dedicated to ESG. Those teams will collaborate with others in Vanguard, both related to ESG product and ESG integration in conventional products.<\/p>\n<p>The hiring shows Vanguard is expanding into the space, but it may be more dipping in its toe rather than fully embracing it, even as ESG is one of the hottest investing trends. After all, Vanguard, with $7.2 trillion in assets under management as of Jan. 31, has less staffing than other, smaller mainstream firms, let alone ESG powerhouse fund families such as Calvert or Parnassus.<\/p>\n<p>Vanguard lags smaller mainstream firms in attracting ESG money and in staffing.

Vanguard\u2019s ESG U.S. Stock ETF hit $500 million by mid-2019 and is now four times that size.<\/p>\n<p>While ESG funds can be launched as traditional mutual funds or ESG funds, most new ESG funds are ETFs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vanguard_mostly_uses_exclusionary_ESG_screens\"><\/span>Vanguard mostly uses exclusionary ESG screens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Better ESG data could change what funds Vanguard launches in the future. Of Vanguard\u2019s five U.S.-based ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds, four are index-based and use exclusionary screens to weed out undesirable sectors, such as tobacco.<\/p>\n<p>But just using exclusionary screens is ESG 1.0, as many ESG funds also have inclusionary screens, specifically picking stocks or sectors to include in their holdings, based on the fund\u2019s mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the reasons why we haven\u2019t launched an inclusionary-based index strategy yet is because we just haven\u2019t felt like the disclosures have been consistent or high-quality enough yet,\u201d Caughlin says.<\/p>\n<p>In a December report about fund firms\u2019 ESG commitment levels, Morningstar gave Vanguard its bottom ranking of low, noting \u201cESG passive strategies do not differentiate the funds from their broader universes as much as peers that explicitly integrate ESG criteria to select companies with positive ESG characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from ESG U.S. Stock ETF, Vanguard\u2019s other exclusionary index-based funds are ESG International Stock ETF<br \/>\n        VSGX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/206720360\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-0.47%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       ESG U.S. Corporate Bond ETF<br \/>\n        VCEB,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/221335085\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-0.89%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       and the Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund<br \/>\n        VFTNX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/206180806\/realtime\" class=\"negative\">-0.07%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       a mutual fund. The fifth fund, a mutual fund by sub-advisor Wellington called the Global ESG Stock Fund<br \/>\n        VEIGX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/213262150\/realtime\" class=\"negative\">-0.18%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       integrates exclusionary and inclusionary screens and is actively managed.<\/p>\n<p>Vanguard\u2019s index funds use many of the common exclusionary environmental and social screens, including screening out companies in controversial industries such as tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment, fossil fuels, nuclear power and weapons, in addition to firms that don\u2019t take steps to promote diversity. Those common exclusionary screens have no governance filters.<\/p>\n<p>Those exclusionary screens don\u2019t always filter out what investors think they might. For example, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fossilfreefunds.org\/fund\/vanguard-esg-us-stock-etf\/ESGV\/fossil-fuel-investments\/FS0000DVU7\/F000010QC6\" class=\"icon none\">despite having a fossil-fuels screen<\/a>, ESG U.S. Stock ETF has $23.1 million, or 0.78% of assets, in fossil-fuel companies according\u00a0 to fund screener site As You Sow. That\u2019s not uncommon for index ETFs that want exposure to mimic the broader stock index.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Never_going_to_slice_and_dice_every_which_way\"><\/span>\u2018Never going to slice and dice\u2019 every which way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Although Vanguard\u2019s FTSE Social Index Fund dates back to 2003, it didn\u2019t release its next ESG funds, ESG U.S. Stock ETF and ESG International Stock ETF, until 2018. But launching a lot of products is not what Vanguard does, Caughlin says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach is never going to be to slice-and-dice and meet every single investor\u2019s different way they want to do it,\u201d she says. \u201cBut we do want to be able to allow our investors who care about being able to express their preferences, or values and being able to build portfolios that are going to deliver really great long-term investor outcomes that are here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are no U.S. or global standards about how companies release ESG data or what data they do release. The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sasb.org\/standards\/\" class=\"icon none\">created<\/a> a set of industry standards a while back, and industry efforts over the past year, such as from Investment Company Institute, and \u00a0the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cfainstitute.org\/en\/ethics-standards\/codes\/esg-standards\" class=\"icon none\">CFA Institute<\/a>\u00a0seek to get more disclosure from companies and funds. <\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is also getting greater attention from the part of regulators, too. All of those reasons are why Vanguard is doing more research into ESG strategies to see how it fits into the fund firm\u2019s framework, which Caughlin says centers around enduring investment themes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re definitely evaluating a number of different funds right now. So I don\u2019t by any means feel like our work is done in ESG. But we are not going to launch anything for ESG just like we do for any of our other new product development without it hitting our very high bar,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Vanguard_ESG_funds_perform\"><\/span>How Vanguard ESG funds perform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Performance for the FTSE Social Index Fund, which seeks to track the performance of the FTSE4Good US Select Index, has $11.3 billion in assets and a strong 10-year track record of a 14.6% annualized return, beating the benchmark Russell 1000 index<br \/>\n        RUI,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210598144\/delayed\" class=\"positive\">+0.10%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       (think the S&amp;P 500 index<br \/>\n        SPX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210599714\/realtime\" class=\"positive\">+0.10%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       and then another 500 companies)\u00a0. The much younger ESG U.S. Stock ETF is up 36% on a one-year annualized basis, beating the Russell 1000, and slightly outperforming BlackRock\u2019s iShare ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF<br \/>\n        ESGU,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/208081415\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.15%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       which is up 34% on a one-year annualized basis\u00a0. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vanguard considers the Wellington-advised Global ESG Stock Fund, which seeks out companies with high financial productivity and strong governance, to be an inclusionary fund. Morningstar flagged that fund in its report, saying \u201cintegrated ESG approaches at Vanguard are more recent and show some promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is up 46.5% on a one-year basis, outperforming the MSCI ACWI Large Cap index, its benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>Caughlin hinted that investors may see more products like the Wellington fund. The flip side for investors may be higher fees than they are used to seeing from Vanguard. The U.S. Stock ETF has an expense ratio of 0.12%. The Wellington fund has an expense ratio of 0.58%.
