XSTB seeks to provide income by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance, net of expenses, of an ESG oriented Index selected at the discretion of BlackRock Canada. The ESG-oriented Index will generally emphasize issuers that have positive environmental, social and governance characteristics, as identified by the Index Provider, chosen from the securities included in its "parent index". XSTB currently seeks to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI 1-5 Year Canadian Aggregate ESG Focus Index. Under normal market conditions, XSTB will primarily invest in Canadian fixed income securities.
