US Vegan Climate ETF

The US Vegan Climate ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the Beyond Investing US Vegan Climate Index, providing market-capitalization-weighted exposure to large-cap U.S. companies that meet rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. The fund systematically excludes companies involved in animal testing, animal-derived products, animal farming, fossil fuel extraction and energy production, military and defense, and human rights abuses. By focusing on these exclusionary criteria, the ETF appeals to investors seeking alignment with vegan and climate-conscious principles while maintaining broad market exposure. The fund's holdings include technology and financial services companies such as Micron Technology, Alphabet, Cisco, and NVIDIA. Compared to the S&P 500, the US Vegan Climate ETF demonstrates significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, and fresh water utilization, making it suitable for investors prioritizing environmental sustainability alongside financial returns. With a low expense ratio and quarterly dividend distributions, the fund offers a passive investment strategy designed to demonstrate that ethical investing principles and market diversification can coexist.
