ETF investors can uncover some of the latest investing themes by looking closely at fund flows. ETF issuer DWS is enjoying strong inflows in areas such as ESG, high yield, and China A-Shares investing.
Here are the top three:
MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF (USSG): USSG was developed in collaboration with Ilmarinen, Finland’s largest pension insurance company. The underlying MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index provides exposure to large- and medium-cap U.S. companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers.
USSG includes companies that score in the top 50% of scores in each sector and so will own about half as many companies as the parent index then weights those stocks to keep the sector allocation in line with the parent index. The fund excludes companies involved in alcohol, tobacco, gambling, controversial and conventional weapons, nuclear power, and civilian firearms.

The disconnect, however, with the underlying economy and health couldn’t be starker. Globally, nearly 1.7 million have died from the coronavirus, stemming from nearly 77 million cases. Domestically, the jobless rate started the year at 3.5% and soared to 14.7% in April amid the lockdowns. It remains unacceptably high, at 6.7%.
