L&G USD Corporate Bond Screened UCITS ETF tracks the issuer-declared index: J.P. Morgan ESG Global Credit (GCI) Investment Grade USD Custom Maturity Index. Mind the share class: this is the version hedged to EUR — returns reflect the index plus the effect (and cost) of hedging into that currency. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.12%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is sampled physical replication (the KID declares buying a representative sample of constituents); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 78 million euro, was launched on 10 July 2024 and is domiciled in Ireland. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 2 ETFs declaring the same index.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide exposure to the US Dollar-denominated investment grade corporate bond market. The Fund is passively managed and aims to track the performance of the J.P. Morgan Global Credit Index (GCI) ESG Investment Grade USD Custom Maturity Index (the “Index”), before the deduction of fees and expenses. The Index is designed to provide exposure to U.S. dollar denominated investment grade corporate bonds, in accordance with its methodology.

We do not publish a tracking difference for this share class — and it is not an oversight.
USAH is hedged to EUR; the index the issuer places next to it in its documents is the unhedged, foreign-currency version. Subtracting one from the other does not measure replication quality: it measures the exchange rate. In a year when the currency moves 5%, “the TD” would come out near 5 points — a plausible-looking number, with decimals, and wrong.
Other sites publish that number. We would rather show one figure less than one figure wrong: the TD will return here the day we have the EUR-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.
Still want to know how well this fund tracks its index? Look at the unhedged sister class, USDC, where fund and index share the same currency: its TD is the right measure of the management, which is the same. Go to the USDC page →
