iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social ETF is a passively managed ETF that tracks the MSCI KLD 400 Social Index, focusing on US companies with positive ESG characteristics. DSI's top holdings are similar to other large-cap ETFs, lacking diversification benefits. DSI's sector composition closely mirrors the S&P 500, reducing the need to switch unless ESG is a core part of the portfolio.

iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social ETF invests with environmental, social, and corporate governance principles, or ESG. Valuation and growth metrics for the DSI ETF are underwhelming, but quality is above par. Past performance is similar to the S&P 500. Investors including ethical principles in their strategy may buy DSI without sacrificing performance, but keep in mind it is very heavy in technology.
