- VegTech Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF (EATV) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that invests primarily in global companies driving innovation in sustainable food and materials supply chains through plant-based and regenerative technologies. The ETF, advised by VegTech Invest LLC, targets VegTech companies producing or enabling efficient, nutritious food options; regenerative materials for cosmetics and clothing; agriculture technology leveraging AI and precision farming; and biotechnology for plant-derived proteins via precision fermentation and biomass processes. Launched on December 28, 2021, and listing on the NYSE Arca before transferring to Cboe exchange in early 2025, the fund holds a concentrated portfolio of approximately 25-40 securities across large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks, with an expense ratio of 0.76% and annual distributions. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, VegTech Invest, founded in 2021, focuses exclusively on this thematic segment serving institutional and retail investors seeking climate-aligned exposure to food system disruption. EATV allocates roughly 80% to food-related innovators—including agtech for resource-efficient farming, regenerative ingredients and flavor technologies, biotechnology for alternative proteins, and consumer food and beverages with lower environmental impact—and 20% to materials companies utilizing plant byproducts for sustainable textiles and cosmetics. The fund emphasizes securities aligned with climate principles, delivering a net carbon reduction; it received Carbon Neutral Certification from Ethos ESG (an ACA Group affiliate) in 2022, covering through Q3 2024 without offsets, based on lifecycle emissions avoided exceeding portfolio footprint, with a global temperature warming potential of 1.18°C versus the S&P 500's 2.84°C. Holdings transparency is full, with proprietary stock selection and weighting, and no derivatives or currency hedging; top exposures often include firms like those in precision fermentation and vertical agriculture. In recent developments, EATV underwent a strategic exchange transfer to Cboe in February 2025, accompanied by a name evolution to VegTech Food Innovation & Climate ETF to broaden its thematic appeal amid ongoing portfolio adjustments, including full exits from select holdings in Q4 2024. VegTech Invest received "Other Investors" funding from Capital V, supporting operational scaling, while the firm propagated investor education via podcasts like The Upside & Impact on ETFCentral.com. These changes reflect adaptation to market dynamics in the sustainable investment space, with no major acquisitions or new product launches reported, as the adviser pivots post-2025 to emphasize trend analysis in plant-based innovation.
