  • The 11 industry sectors covered are consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, healthcare, industrials, information technology, materials, real estate, telecommunication services, and utilities. Names in the portfolio include Nivea’s parent company Beiersdorf, ABB, Nvidia and Telefonica.

The portfolio launch follows the introduction of ESG scores to the eToro platform for over 2,700 stocks. Powered by ESG Book, a global leader in ESG data and technology, the ESG scores combine the most up-to-date market news, NGO signals and company-reported information enabling users to consider environmental, social, and governance factors when building their portfolios.

  • eToro’s Smart Portfolios offer investors exposure to various market themes. Bundling together several assets under a defined methodology, and employing a passive investment approach, eToro’s Smart Portfolios are long-term investment solutions that offer diversified exposure with no management fees.
  • Initial investment starts from USD 500 and investors can access tools and charts to track the portfolio’s performance, while eToro’s social feed will keep them up-to-date on developments in the sector. For now, this portfolio is not available to US users.
