How does JLens score companies and what does it do with this score?

BACK TO FAQS

A company’s score on each scorecard is aggregated to form a final percentage score. Using a company’s final percentage score, each company is classified as “Metzuyan” (excellent), “Tov” (good), or “Tzarich Tikkun” (needs improvement). JLens then adjusts the weights of the company in the index based on the company’s assigned category. Companies that are Metzuyan are overweighted by a factor of 1.03 (representing a three percent increase); TOV companies receive a neutral weight of one and Tzarich Tikkun companies are underweighted by a factor of 0.97 (representing a three percent decrease).

The scorecard evaluations also enables JLens to track company performance on key issue topics (e.g., number of companies providing Jewish employee resource groups) and learn about opportunities for deeper advocacy engagement on behalf of the Jewish community.

JLens full methodology is available in the fund prospectus.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.

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.
