What advocacy has JLens conducted with Amazon?

BACK TO FAQS

JLens conducted a successful campaign against an anti-Israel shareholder proposal on Amazon’s 2024 Proxy Statement brought forward by a BDS proponent, which we believe sought to end Amazon’s $1.2B cloud-computing contract with the Israeli government. Shareholder support halved from 34% in 2023 to ~17% in 2024, including a flip from “FOR” to “AGAINST” by Charles Schwab, State Street and other large institutional shareholders.

In 2022, JLens successfully advocated for Amazon to remove hateful and misinformed Holocaust denial books from its product offerings, leading the company to take down the content.

Currently, JLens is engaging Amazon around its policies regarding dangerous extremist products, as well as internal allegations of antisemitism leveraged at the company.

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.
