EATV Profile
The VegTech Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF is designed to capitalize on the growing trend of plant-based innovation and sustainability by investing at least 80% of its net assets in companies that are leaders in these fields. The fund targets "VegTech Companies," which are defined as firms that innovate or utilize technology to create products with at least one plant ingredient, with a focus on animal-free end products. Additionally, the fund seeks to invest in companies that are making a positive impact on climate change, aligning its investment strategy with broader environmental sustainability goals.
VegTech Companies included in the ETF's portfolio are those that are at the forefront of the plant-based movement, ranging from food and beverage producers to biotechnology firms and material science innovators. These companies are leveraging plant-based ingredients and technologies to create sustainable alternatives to traditional animal-based products, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. The fund also targets companies that support these innovators through supply chain technologies or other enabling services, ensuring a comprehensive approach to plant-based innovation.
In addition to its focus on plant-based companies, the ETF invests in "Climate Companies" that are actively involved in addressing climate change through their business practices, products, or technologies. These companies may be involved in renewable energy, energy efficiency, carbon capture, sustainable agriculture, or other areas that contribute to reducing the global carbon footprint. By including climate-focused companies, the fund not only supports the plant-based industry but also broader efforts to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability.
The VegTech Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its investments in a smaller number of companies or industries compared to diversified funds. This approach allows the fund to focus more intensively on its investment themes of plant-based innovation and climate impact. Managed by a team with expertise in sustainability and plant-based industries, the ETF offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the growth of these sectors while contributing to positive environmental outcomes.
