Beyond Advisors’ US Vegan Climate ETF Puts Focus On Investing For Animals and the Environment

Proposed US Vegan Climate ETF to track the US Vegan Climate Index, an index designed to focus on cruelty-free and sustainable companies.

Beyond Advisors has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the proposed launch of the US Vegan Climate ETF. It is anticipated to list with ticker VEGN on the New York Stock Exchange in January 2019.

The US Vegan Climate ETF will be managed to track the US Vegan Climate Index, which was launched by Beyond Advisors in June 2018. Since then it has been independently calculated and published real-time by Solactive AG with index prices published real-time by the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, and on Bloomberg and Reuters terminals under the ticker VEGAN as well as reported daily on the Solactive website.

The US Vegan Climate Index is a passive, rules-based index of U.S. large cap stocks, screened according to vegan and climate-conscious principles.

Beyond Advisors is screening the Solactive US Large Cap Index, made up of the largest approximately 500 stocks in the US market, to exclude stocks of companies whose business activities include the following:

Animals

Animal testing
Animal-derived products, animal farming, and other exploitation activities
Animals in sport and entertainment
Research, development, and use of genetically engineered animals

Planet

Extraction or refining, or services principally related to the extraction or refining, of fossil fuels
Burning of fossil fuels for energy production
Other activities having a significant negative environmental impact (e.g., high carbon intensity activities, high climate change impact, habitat destruction), unless the applicable company undertakes positive initiatives that effectively address those impacts

People

Tobacco products
Armaments and products specifically designed for military and defense uses
Contributions to the abuse of human rights or lack of robust, detailed, and independently published policies covering human rights and child/forced labor

The construction methodology proactively replaces exposures to those industry groups where exposures are greatly diminished with stocks in the same industry group in the mid-capitalisation band provided they are not engaging in these prohibited activities. This enables the Index to gain exposure to smaller companies delivering similar products and services but without harming animals, people or the planet.

“The depth and breadth of the ethical research involves a deep dive into a company’s activities, subsidiaries and products to arrive at a Pass, Fail and, where appropriate, to identify as a candidate for ongoing engagement,” said Lee Coates, Head of Ethical Screening. “This level of scrutiny has not, as far as we are aware, ever been as deeply embedded in the investment philosophy of a financial product”.

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report published 8 October 2018 encouraged rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society to maintain temperature rise below 1.5degC, with actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions including a reduction in the use of fossil fuels and protection of forests at risk from the demands of animal production. Livestock was already found in the study published by the WorldWatch Institute to be responsible for 51% of greenhouse gas emissions.

By being both zero animal exploitation and zero fossil fuel the US Vegan Climate Index has a carbon footprint well below the Solactive US Large Cap Index as well as reporting significantly lower waste generation and fresh water utilization (as calculated by Impact-Cubed).

The US Vegan Climate ETF is expected to be available for investment in January 2019 with estimated expense ratios of 0.60%.

Disclosures:

The fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company, and it may be obtained by visiting www.veganetf.com, when available. Read it carefully before investing
The information in this communication is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This communication is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Investments in mid-cap securities involve additional risk such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The index methodology may cause the Fund to underperform the broader equity market or other funds which do not utilize such criteria. The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the underlying Index. To the extent the Fund utilizes a representative sampling approach, it may experience tracking error to a greater extent than if the Fund had sought to replicate the Index.

The US Vegan Climate ETF is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.

Why is Jeff Bezos’ shareholder letter from 2000 relevant to Crypto today? Global Head of Research Eliézer Ndinga explains.

What we’re following

The next wave of economic data is critical for refining views on economic strength. Early December’s CPI and PPI reports will be especially important for confirming or adjusting inflation expectations ahead of the next Fed meeting.
Data on the labor market (such as job numbers and the unemployment rate) will also be released, which are vital for understanding wage and employment trends.
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, is expected on December 5. This directly steers Fed expectations and drives risk appetite for crypto.
The Employment Situation (Non-Farm Payrolls or NFP), a crucial labor report, is also expected on December 5. It provides key insight into economic strength, which can cause strong volatility in crypto through shifting rate expectations.
