How does JLens assess companies on Jewish values?

JLens scores companies on three Jewish value scorecards: “Support for Israel,” “Combat Antisemitism & Hate,” and Tikkun Olam (meaning to repair the world). These Jewish value scorecards are inspired by Judaism’s framework of Mitzvot (obligations).

“Support for Israel” scorecard: JLens recognizes companies that have economic ties to Israel and actively oppose efforts by the BDS campaign.

“Combat Antisemitism & Hate” scorecard: JLens evaluates how companies combat antisemitism and all forms of hate in their business activities and provide an inclusive workplace for Jewish employees.

“Tikkun Olam” scorecard: JLens evaluates companies on their commitment to social responsibility, employee well-being, environmental sustainability, and ethical governance, ensuring the companies actively contribute to bettering and repairing the world.

Within these three scorecards, JLens conducts robust data collection, in-depth research, and direct engagement with companies. As of March 2025, JLens evaluates each company on more than 80 metrics, totalling more than 40,000 data points across TOV.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a Prospectus or Summary Prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please call 855-427-7360 or visit our website at investjewishly.org. Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing.

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.
