Newday Ocean Health ETF (AHOY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies advancing ocean health and sustainability initiatives. The fund's portfolio emphasizes equity securities of issuers engaged in marine conservation, sustainable aquaculture, ocean cleanup technologies, blue biotechnology, and regenerative ocean farming; it allocates across sectors such as marine renewables, plastic waste reduction, and biodiversity protection, with a focus on small- and mid-cap companies driving positive environmental impact. AHOY targets institutional and retail investors interested in thematic ESG strategies, operating primarily in U.S. and global markets including North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Launched in 2023 and domiciled in the United States with advisory services provided by Newday Partners LLC headquartered in New York, the ETF underwent a significant strategic enhancement in 2024 with the introduction of its proprietary Ocean Health Index, a quantitative framework evaluating portfolio holdings on metrics like carbon sequestration potential and ecosystem restoration impact. Recent developments include a key partnership announced in mid-2025 with the Ocean Foundation to integrate nonprofit-validated data into investment decisions, bolstering transparency and credibility; additionally, AHOY expanded its holdings through the acquisition of stakes in emerging blue economy firms, reflecting a pivot toward high-growth sustainable shipping and fisheries management solutions amid rising investor demand for climate-aligned assets. These changes position the fund as a leader in the burgeoning ocean sustainability investment segment, with assets under management surpassing $150 million by late 2025.
