The fund invests in bonds issued to finance green projectsprimarily solar, wind, and low-carbon construction.

Issuers may be located in any geography, but holdings must be USD denominated. Rebalancing is done monthly. GRNB launched in March 2017 and as of September 3, 2019, the fund tracks the S&P Green Bond U.S. Dollar Select Index.
