Price return of DJ Global Select ESG RESI and DJ Global Select RESI index 2018-2022

Both the Dow Jones Global ESG Select Real Estate Securities (RESI) and the Dow Jones Global Select RESI indices underperformed when compared to the S&P 1200 index as of October 2022. By design, the RESI indices aim to track the performance of direct real estate investment by including real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs) traded worldwide. The Dow Jones Global Select ESG RESI includes the same constituents as the The Dow Jones Global Select RESI, but weights are adjusted for the environmental, social, and governance sustainability performance of the companies.
According to the figures, the ESG focus of the companies did not necessarily improve their price return index. While both indices followed similar trends, the Global Select RESI performed slightly better in May and June 2022, whereas S&P 1200 performed better in September and October 2022.
