Rather than broadly screening out companies based on the countries where they operate, we prefer to engage as shareholders to encourage responsible business practices. Our approach focuses on company-specific actions rather than geography. We believe maintaining a seat at the table through ownership allows us to advocate for improvements in human rights practices, which aligns with our Jewish values of pursuing justice and human dignity while acknowledging the complex realities of global business operations.

Investments involve risk. Principal loss is possible.
Large-Capitalization Companies Risk. Large-capitalization companies may trail the returns of the overall stock market. Large-capitalization stocks tend to go through cycles of doing better – or worse – than the stock market in general. These periods have, in the past, lasted for as long as several years.
Jewish Values Investing Risk. The Index considers JLens’ Jewish Value Pillars in its index methodology and may exclude otherwise profitable investments in companies which have been identified as being in conflict with JLens’ Jewish Value Pillars. The Index does not select constituents for inclusion in the Index on the basis of future anticipated performance or capital appreciation, similar to traditional market capitalization-weighted indexes.
Responsible Investing Criteria Risk. Because the methodology of the Index selects securities of issuers using responsible investing considerations, the Fund may underperform the broader equity market or other funds that do not utilize responsible investing criteria when selecting investments.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.
The Fund is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC. The Fund’s investment advisor is Empowered Funds, LLC which is doing business as ETF Architect.
