iShares MSCI Europe ETF to update index methodology and rename fund

LONDON - iShares IV plc announced Tuesday that its MSCI Europe ESG Enhanced CTB UCITS ETF will undergo changes to its benchmark index methodology and fund name, effective November 25, 2025.

The fund’s benchmark index, currently named MSCI Europe ESG Enhanced Focus CTB Index, will be renamed to MSCI Europe ESG Enhanced CTB Index. The index methodology will be updated to amend certain optimization constraints, including the removal of some index level targets, and modify the greenhouse gas intensity calculation methodology used to measure the minimum 7% year-on-year decarbonization trajectory target.

Alongside these changes, the fund itself will be renamed from "iShares MSCI Europe ESG Enhanced CTB UCITS ETF" to "iShares MSCI Europe CTB Enhanced ESG UCITS ETF."

The company also stated that additional updates to the fund’s index will be implemented around March 2, 2026, which will adjust its screening and intra-balance issuer removal methodology.

A revised version of the company’s prospectus will be published on or shortly after the November effective date to reflect these changes, with another update following the March modifications.

The announcement was made through a press release statement issued by iShares IV plc. Investors seeking further information can access the full shareholder letter through the National Storage Mechanism website or the iShares website.
