In October 2022, the Brand Value Research Institute of National Business Daily established an ESG public fund database and subsequently launched the "ESG Public Fund Weekly Ranking." By tracking the performance of ESG funds and analyzing the reasons behind ranking changes, it helps investors better understand, identify, and screen ESG funds with higher investment value.

The observation period for this week's ESG Public Fund Weekly Ranking was from July 28 to August 1, with the latest net values as of August 1. The statistical results show that the returns of the listed funds further declined this week, with several products posting negative returns. Among them, active funds outperformed index funds: the former had positive average returns, while the latter had negative average returns.

Specifically, all broad ESG-themed active funds posted gains, with an average return of 4.04%; two ESG-themed active funds declined, with an average return of 0.35%.

For index funds, all ESG-themed funds declined, with an average return of -1.39%; half of the broad ESG-themed funds declined, with an average return of -0.62%.
