2ndVote Life Neutral Plus ETF (LYFE) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that primarily invests in equity securities of large- and mid-capitalization U.S. companies domiciled in or principally traded on U.S. securities markets, selected based on a proprietary social scoring system that identifies firms perceived to meet pro-life social criteria; the fund employs fundamental security analysis alongside this values-based screening to achieve long-term total returns. Launched on November 18, 2020, and sponsored by 2ndVote Funds with investment advisory services provided by 2nd Vote Advisers, LLC, the ETF targets investors seeking alignment between financial performance and conservative ethical principles, with a net expense ratio of 0.75% and assets under management peaking at approximately $19.3 million. The fund's portfolio historically emphasized sectors such as electronic technology, health technology, finance, and producer manufacturing, with top holdings including Broadcom Inc., Lam Research Corporation, ServiceNow Inc., Fortinet Inc., and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.
In a significant operational change, 2ndVote Funds announced the closure and liquidation of LYFE on August 1, 2023, following a recommendation from its investment adviser due to limited asset growth opportunities and ongoing market challenges; trading ceased on the Cboe BZX Exchange at the close of regular trading on August 3, 2023, with final liquidation distributions to shareholders completed by August 14, 2023, at $33.5847 per share. This decision aligned with the concurrent closure of the related 2ndVote Society Defended ETF (EGIS), marking a strategic contraction for the sponsor amid subdued demand for its themed ETF offerings. No subsequent relaunches, partnerships, acquisitions, or new product developments involving LYFE have been reported as of late 2025.
Headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, through its adviser 2nd Vote Advisers, LLC at 609 Cheshire Circle, the ETF operated exclusively within North American developed markets, focusing on U.S.-centric equity exposure without notable international geographic diversification or subsidiaries. The sponsor traces roots to 2ndVote initiatives founded around 2012, emphasizing values-aligned investing as a counter to traditional ESG frameworks. Post-liquidation, LYFE holds no active trading status or ongoing operations.
