In motorsports, fine-tuning and micro-tweaking of an engine can help extract the added performance necessary to win a race. In the case of the Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF (SNPE), it's addition by subtraction.

Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF is a passively managed vehicle tracking the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index. Since its inception in 2019, SNPE has outperformed IVV, mainly owing to the indirect consequences of the ESG screening—its larger exposure to IT and the growth factor. However, in the current conditions, these issues expose SNPE to additional risks, potentially translating into a deeper drawdown than IVV's amid the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict and soaring oil prices.
